This week I interviewed writer/artist Tom Humberstone about his graphic novel Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess of Tennis, one of Comic Book Herald’s favorite comics of 2022! We talk tennis, making sports comics compelling, and much more! On Comic Book Herald's interviews I'll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic […] The post “Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess of Tennis” with Tom Humberstone! CBH Interviews #104 appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

One of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen was a woman few even remember. A championship player by the age of fifteen in a Europe overshadowed by impending war, Suzanne Lenglen broke records for ticket sales and match winning streaks, scandalised and entranced the public with her playing outfits, and became a pioneer, making friends and enemies throughout restrictive tennis society in the trailblazing jazz age. Talking Tennis speaks with author Tom Humberstone who has just penned a book about the French tennis legend.

Signals from the Hill is the Avery Hill Publishing podcast! In this episode we talk to Tom Humberstone, the creator of Suzanne, which came out last week.

The post Signals From The Hill #45 – Tom Humberstone on ‘Suzanne' appeared first on Avery Hill Publishing.

This time we're joined by Tom Humberstone to talk about Suzanne, his graphic novel about the life of Suzanne Lenglen, the Jazz Age Tennis Legend. Suzanne is published from Avery Hill and available from all good comic shops.

Suzanne Lenglen was a trendsetting tennis star in the 1920s, among the first to challenge the notion that tennis players had to be amateurs, running themselves into debt to keep competing, in order to participate in tournaments. Tom Humberstone‘s first full-length graphic novel Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess of Tennis, soon to be released, is … Continue reading #747 “Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess of Tennis”

Cincinnati lost its stars early but still brought us a wickedly good weekend, with comeback kids Borna Coric and Caroline Garcia taking the titles. We talk new shoulder (Borna), new confidence (Caro), new professionalism (Stef?), and the resurgent Petra and Madison. We take a stab at the ball controversy and how it speaks to a larger battle in tennis governance. The second part of this episode features an interview with author and illustrator Tom Humberstone, whose gorgeous graphic novel Suzanne hits bookstores in September. Suzanne Lenglen was one of the very first sporting superstars; Tom tells Suzanne's story with specificity, avoiding comparisons with today's greats, exploring what made her so compelling and how the well worn cliches about her fail to do justice to her life and accomplishments.     3:30 OG NextGen kid Borna Coric is back in the conversation, wins Cincinnati with his new serve (and new shoulder) 14:30 Iga, Ons, Serena out early? No problem - Petra, Caro, and Madison are getting butts in seats 21:20 Tennis ball controversy: Iga Swiatek vs. Wilson Regular Duty 27:00 Whom does it serve to tweet about someone skipping a press conference? (Check the replies, that's who) 30:05 Jonathan's preferred Serena match-up and Vika's slightly anticlimactic announcement 35:10 Interview with Tom Humberstone, author of Suzanne and Body Serve illustrator! 47:45 Translating the unique visual spectacle of Lenglen to the page  55:15 How to balance “legacy” while honoring a person's specific life experiences 59:20 Lenglen forced the skeptical press to respect women's sport

Set in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, in a part of England known for its beautiful Regency architecture, famous public schools and sky-high house prices, is the idyllic town of Cheltenham. This is a town that was the height of fashion in the time of Jane Austen, and, to this very day, remains a favoured outpost of the rich and famous. But behind that manicured facade lies a secret. This is a town that plays host to most of Britain's spies. And with all that lying and deception, that blurring of right and wrong, comes evil. Evil that seeps through the cracks. Evil that confuses and contrasts the town's self-image. This is a story about people who listen, and the town they live in. This is The Town That Knew Too Much. The Town That Knew Too Much starts July 21st 2021. Episodes weekly. The Town That Knew Too Much is written, produced and presented by Nick Hilton.   Music by George Jennings.

East Grinstead, the home of Scientologists, Mormons, Rosicrucians and more; a nexus for ley lines, a perfect Prime Meridian settlement and Britain's most haunted town. But why?

What is the Guinea Pig Club? At the height of the Second World War, the sleepy Sussex town of East Grinstead played host to one of the most remarkable and revolutionary medical facilities of the 20th Century. The town's famous Guinea Pigs were severely burned airmen who had come to the Queen Victoria hospital for treatment under the scalpel of the great Archibald McIndoe. What happened from there has become the stuff of local legend and earned East Grinstead its nickname: the town that didn't stare.

There is something that makes East Grinstead special, and has drawn extraordinary people to what looks, on the surface, like a very ordinary town. Amongst those who read the land like a book – like a religious text – there are those who say that the town marks the confluence of ley lines, the invisible underground energy currents that, for millennia, have silently and secretly governed the fate of mankind. Could it be that the town that didn't stare is Britain's most unusual town because of these ancient, mystic powers?  The Town That Didn’t Stare is written, produced and presented by Nick Hilton.   Intro and incidental music by George Jennings.

In 1959, L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, one of the world's most controversial religions, bought a manor house in the sleepy Sussex town of East Grinstead. In doing so, he changed everything for that town. East Grinstead was now world famous, not as a middle class commuter town with a beautiful timber-clad high street, but as the focus point of global concerns about abuses and corruption in alternative religion. How did it happen? What is life like for British Scientologists? And what did this little town do once it became Britain's home of occultist belief systems?

From the early humans of the Middle Pleistocene era through to the Norman conquest, the history of Sussex is a tale for the ages. East Grinstead, the town that didn't stare, is nestled in this landscape, but what do we know of the thousands of years before the bricks, houses and churches of the town sprang up? What do we know of this wild land where rhinoceros once roamed free? What emerged from the malaria filled marshland of the Sussex coast?

There is a town in southern England, nestled between the ancient Ashdown Forest and the untamed beauty of the High Weald, called East Grinstead. Locals refer to it as "the town that didn't stare"; a place where you are not judged by what you look like or how you live your life. It's no surprise then, perhaps, that it's the the nexus of Britain's alternative religious scene: from the Scientologists to the Mormons, Opus Dei to Paganism, East Grinstead has it all. The Town That Didn't Stare follows the history of East Grinstead from early humans through to the present day, via the incredible story of Archibald McIndoe in the Second World War. It is a story for the ages. The Town That Didn’t Stare is written, produced and presented by Nick Hilton.   Intro and incidental music by George Jennings.

Kieron Gillen, Chrissy Williams, Ann Scantlebury, Tom Humberstone and Matthew Sheret pop some bubbly and bring our little Study Group to a close. See us out with this near-hour of chat, celebrating Greendale’s greatest victory. Thanks for listening! It’s been rambly, emotional, funny and illuminating. http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

The Good, The Bad and The Dean face off in the halls of Greendale, and no-one is safe. Fast balls and faster quips pepper the screen and NO-ONE STAYS ON TOPIC. Ann Scantlebury, Chrissy Williams, Matthew Sheret, Tom Humberstone and Kieron Gillen wax lyrical and digress wildly as our podcast near its close. http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

Our little gang witness the miracle of human life this week, as Shirley’s pregnancy comes to an abrupt (and dramatic) finale. Tom Humberstone’s back! Joining Chrissy Williams, Kieron Gillen, Ann Scantlebury and Matthew Sheret to chew through 22 minutes of telly. http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

Tom Humberstone and Dan Berry get together to talk about getting into comics, finding a style and the sensual allure of ink on paper.

It’s fright night on the Greendale campus, and the gang face off against supernatural horrors in a gung-ho halloween masterpiece.   Ann Scantlebury, Matt Sheret, Tom Humberstone, Chrissy Williams and Kieron Gillen eat one another brains… wait… pick one another’s brains to unpack the funniest conspiracy horror story ever written.   http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com   Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

Abed and Shirley face off in the most important story of our time… well, of the second series of Community… so far… probably. Ann Scantlebury, Matt Sheret, Tom Humberstone, Chrissy Williams and Kieron Gillen talk religion, emotional payoffs and media literacy. http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

Oh! My! God! It’s all going off in Mission Control and *everybody* wants chicken. Product placement, high tension and so much parody. It’s a classic. Ann Scantlebury, Matt Sheret, Tom Humberstone, Chrissy Williams and Kieron Gillen get stuck into this bargain bucket of laffs. It’s way better than last week’s episode. Way, way better. http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

This week in Greendale, everything gets a bit… awkward. It’s not Community’s finest half-hour. On the plus side, it makes for a short episode! Ann Scantlebury, Matt Sheret, Tom Humberstone and Kieron Gillen have a lukewarm reaction to episode three… bit of a downer all round actually. Still, next week’s gonna be great! http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: ‘Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)

The Greendale classmates finally step off-campus, Annie chloroforms someone TWICE, and the second series swings into gear. Ann Scantlebury, Matt Sheret, Tom Humberstone and Kieron Gillen rattle through episode two and manage to enjoy it more than they expected to (except Tom, because he was stuck on the bus).  http://welcometostudygroup.tumblr.com Music: 'Crazy Glue’ by Josh Woodward (www.joshwoodward.com)
