Avery Hill are proud to announce the first half of our 2016 publishing schedule!
Firstly, a new addition to our AHArts collection:
Internal Wilderness by Claire Scully
South London illustrator Claire Scully’s first book takes us on a journey through an internal narrative – an evocative nighttime exploration of an imaginary world with the only observer being the brilliant full moon. Claire Scully is known for her nature-based illustrations which suggest folklore and myth; here she creates bold, graphic landscapes which encompass mountains, rivers, villages, woods and immense starry skies.
Then from AHComics:
Artificial Flowers by Rachael Smith
Smith’s follow-up to the coming of age fantasy, The Rabbit, is the story of a young woman living in London, trying to start her career as an artist […]
We’re massively proud of Tim for his achievement in winning Best Comic of 2015 at the British Comic Awards for Grey Area: From the City to the Sea.
Tim was the first person to ever approach us about contributing to our anthology, Tiny Dancing, back when we had just started out, and Grey Area 1 was the first book we ever published that was entirely by a single creator.
The journey that took our creative relationship with Tim from there to here, in just a few years, is one of the things we’re proudest of in our history to date.
Congratulations Tim!
We’ll now hand over to the man himself as we print his acceptance speech in its entirety.
Firstly – thanks to you Adam and all the team at the British Comic Awards. […]
Buttertubs is a dog who always wants to save the dudes and damsels in distress, but who always mucks it up on account of his inability to stop sweating butter.
Running becomes flailing and crashing, everything he touches becomes greasy and strangely flammable, and even simple tasks become fraught with slippery danger.
His nemesis, The Hotdog Queen, needs to watch her back, his friend Hester is always trying to stop his foolish escapades, and there are many, many damsels in distress.
All in a day’s work for Buttertubs!
44 pages, with full colour covers, from British Comics Award nominated and internationally renowned creator, Donya Todd!

The End of Summer is the debut graphic novel from exciting new talent, Tillie Walden; a 19 year old comics creator from Texas, USA.
In a secluded castle, at the beginning of a winter that is predicted to last for three years, Lars is battling illness, boredom and the pressures of family life. Locked inside for the duration, he passes the time playing with his siblings and his giant cat, Nemo, while tensions within the family begin to simmer…
Tillie Walden tells the tragic and moving story of Lars and his twin sister, Maja. A melodrama full of subtle and tender character moments and set in an exquisitely rendered castle, it’s a hauntingly beautiful work that will no doubt be considered as one of the great debuts of 2015.
88 pages, perfect bound […]
Swear Jar collects a series of short comics drawn between 2014 and 2015 by Abe Christie, one of the most talented and unique creators to come out of the UK small press in recent times.
Occupying itself chiefly in flirting with neurosis and mundanity, Abe’s work attempts to keep a gentle humour whilst querying the value of ones nemesis, failed friendships, and the inconveniences of finding oneself radioactive and powerless.
Abe is a cartoonist and former art student based in London. He spends his days working a dead end job where he dreams of other lives he might have lived, then attempts to live them in comic form. Swear Jar is the first published collection of his work.
Printed in full colour, across 40 pages.
