We are very excited to announce that Chris will be at the Brighton International Animation Festival to do a book signing and talk.

“The Brighton International Animation Festival (April 4-6, 2025) is the perfect stage for a special book signing event featuring the acclaimed animator, writer, and director Chris Shepherd. With the recent release of his debut graphic novel Anfield Road (Titan Comics), Shepherd brings his signature blend of dark humour, nostalgia, and raw storytelling to the page, reflecting his celebrated career in animation. Known for award-winning shorts like Dad’s Dead and Johnno’s Dead, Shepherd’s work resonates with animators and fans alike, making him a must-see guest at Brighton’s animator-driven festival.”

The event is free but you need to buy a ticket beforehand. It starts at 4pm upstairs at Presuming Eds (114 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JG). For full details click this link. To find out everything about the festival here are the details.
