Captain Congo rocks Adelaide Mini Comic Con

Ruth with "Captain Congo" and "An Anzac Tale" illustrator Greg Holfeld

Ruth had a great time "monkeying around" (pun fully intended) at the Adelaide Mini Comic Con, held at the Flinders Street Markets last weekend.

Along with illustrator Greg Holfeld, she signed copies of her popular "Captain Congo" graphic novel series for fans, as well as "An Anzac Tale".

Ruth's books were among dozens of cool graphic novels and comics up for sale by local artists and authors.

If you missed out, don't worry: you can order copies of Captain Congo in Ruth's new online shop!

"The Captain Congo books are the perfect bedtime stories. All pictures, but with enough words and story to last over two nights. Plus they reward re-reading and watching for lurking clues." - Sam Franzway, father of Charlie, 6
