By John Freeman on August 2, 2013

A last minute plug – creator-publisher Mike Medaglia is launching his anthology of spiritual comics, Wu Wei, tonight at Gosh!, 1 Berwick Street, Soho, London W1F 0DR from 7.00pm. Glyn Dillon of The Nao of Brown fame has designed the cover (above).

Mike explains: “‘Wu Wei’ is a Taoist term meaning non-action. To practice Wu Wei is to act in a natural way and reveal one’s own nature.” The anthology offers 100 pages for £6 of funny and inspirational stories, illustrations, poetry, an abstract comic, origami comic and the final panel is a pull out concertina.
