A few words from Gill: “I’m absolutely delighted to be nominated for the BCA Young People’s Comic Awards, and it’s very exciting to see my name next to so many comic creators I admire. It might seem a little contradictory, but getting out and being […]

“A beautifully paced example of Medaglia’s pensive and meditative narratives that are always worthy of your time – delicately constructed and reflective in delivery”
Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

Philip was getting old. His face was getting wrinkled, his hairline was moving backwards and he was on the waiting list for a knee operation. It was his day off and he didn’t have any plans, so he ate his breakfast in front of the computer screen and asked himself “What do I want to do?”
A grand existential crisis, a surreal Bulgakovian satire, or simply A Quiet Disaster? We follow Philip on his day off work as he struggles to find meaning and happiness through the everyday decisions that make up a day. Why did he cross that street? Does he keep walking, or shelter from the rain? What will make him happy? And just why is that dog wearing glasses?
Owen Pomery, creator of the brilliant The Megatherium Club, recently received some fan mail. Obviously this in itself is far from an unusual event (maybe), but the writer of said email was of particular interest to Owen and the rest of us at AHP Towers, for it was Lorin Ottlinger, Assistant Director at The Grove National Historic Landmark. As I’m sure you all know, this was the boyhood home of none other than Megatherium Club member Robert Kennicott!

1835 – 1866
Bloody loved a field mission, so much so that he
died on one. He has a glacier, a river and
a valley named in his honour.
Still resides at the Smithsonian, in skeletal form.

Our second strip sees Owen D. Pomery return to the characters from his hit comic, ‘The Megatherium Club’. ‘Skeleton Crew’ is the first in a series of standalone adventures pitting the club against the same “villain”, a […]

No one seems to notice that things aren’t quite how they should be. What was lost has now been found, those dead before their time are alive and events from history that we know took a wrong turn have somehow been set right. It should be a golden age, but if everything is so great, why is there a growing theory that something cataclysmic is coming?
Meanwhile, on London’s outskirts, in a small castle in Greenwich, lives the indie band Electric Dreams. In the midst of their triumphs, failures, loves and losses, founder members Ricky Stardust and the mysterious Jessica Hill are constantly going AWOL. Are they slacking off on drink and drugs […]
