“What more noble pursuit for immortal souls? Riches? War and Butchery? Political Chicanery? Superstition? Pleasure? What we seek is the TRUTH!” – William Stimpson, Founder of the Megatherium Club
The Megatherium Club was a group of scientists who operated out of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington between 1857 and 1866. They were that peculiar brand of gentleman scientist that can no longer exist due to the emphasis in our time on such boring trivialities as academic qualifications, sobriety and safety. Essentially it was like the Royal Society if its president had been Dave Bassett instead of Sir Isaac Newton. In this volume we join our intrepid heroes during […]
Invincible By Rebecca Strickson and David White 20 full colour A5 pages in a limited edition of 25
Invincible is a collection of ten unique captured images from a corrupted digital recording of the opening sequence of Werner Herzog’s 2001 film ‘Invincible’.
The corruption occurred quite by accident, and was only discovered on viewing some time after the recording took place. After the first fifteen minutes or so of the film, the corruption stopped, and returned to normal.
The result of the corruption was a kaleidoscopic glitch effect, where image bled into image, leaving ghosts from previous scenes haunting the next, and where colour bled into colour, often enhancing, sometimes diminishing.
The beauty of these corrupted images, and the fact that they never appeared in the same way on repeated viewings, established the creation of something unique and localised that we wanted to […]
Mitchell Collection Edited by David White 24 black and white pages in an edition of 25
I purchased Photographic Album Letter N of the Mitchell Collection from a stall in Deptford Market in 2012.
The personal photographs within Album Letter N mainly cover what appears to be a short period of time in the summer of 1984, taken in various European countries by and of someone who I assume to be T.P. Mitchell.
The photographs are split between portraits of Mitchell and his travelling party, panoramas, and candid snaps of police and military figures, and it was this last category that intrigued me most.
It seems clear that as well as having a very nice holiday, which Mitchell was keen to document, he was also using the opportunity of touring Europe to somewhat covertly build or supplement an archive of photographs of state empowered […]

As summer begins, Ari, Lynda and Rob experience the overwhelming wonder and excitement of their first music festival…
In her first full-length comic, Jazz Greenhill brings you this lovely and touching tale of kids venturing out into the unreal madness of a large music festival at night and discovering an adult world that excites, scares and bemuses in equal measure.
We met Jazz at a comics fair last year and were smitten with some of her truly unique comic zines, so when she came to us with this project we leapt at the chance to work with her. The Festival exceeded even our expectations and we think you’ll agree that she’s a talent that […]

We’ve got a table at the marvellous DIY Cultures fair on Sunday 7th April. We’ll be premiering Reads Vol.3 along with all the other usual wonders such as Tim Bird’s Grey Area, Tiny Dancing and Close Up Masterchef! It’s at the Rich Mix in London’s “authentically unspoilt” Shoreditch and it all kicks off at lunch time (please bring me a sandwich). Even if the thought of getting a copy of Reads 3 straight from our sweaty, shaking hands doesn’t do it, there’s a whole heap of other stuff going on as well as outlined by the good people themselves below. And it’s free! Hope to see you there!

Printed in A4 size, and features 28 black and white pages with a lovely Cairn Board cover
Titled ‘While The City Sleeps’, Tim’s first full length comic is a paean to London and the culmination of an obsession that started when he moved to Golders Green in 2005.
“I took the tube to places across town. Places with familiar names, unusual names, places where friends lived, places where there were good comic book shops, or second hand record shops. Tottenham Court Road, Mudchute, Kilburn, Camden Town, Finchley. I wore comfortable shoes and carried my camera everywhere. I photographed graffiti, bus stops, abandoned supermarket trolleys, tower blocks, barbed wire and […]

If I were to list the reasons why it’s taken a loooong while for Tiny Dancing Issue 8 to appear, it would be boring. Real life, job related, boring. So please forgive me if I do not do that. Instead, I will tell you about the things that are not boring. These are the things that are in Tiny Dancing Issue 8.
