“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 […]

Yes that’s right, your favourite indie punk rebel publishing company has sold out to The Man and gone all corporate on your ass. To celebrate the birth of Owen Pomery’s new comic, The Megatherium Club, we’ll be swilling champagne with all the other yuppy pigs at the Natural History Museum (the London one in case there’s one in Stoke or something) and we’d be delighted if you’d care to join us for a drink. All very casual so turn up when you want/ for as long as you want. Be sure to take the time to check out the museum as well. If you don’t know what any of us look like then we’ll have some kind of sign there so […]
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 […]

Avery Hill Publishing are delighted to present Grey Area Issue 2, by artist and writer Tim Bird.
“Much has been written of travel, far less of the road.” – Edward Thomas, The Icknield Way
Titled ‘The Old Straight Track’, Grey Area Issue 2 is a tribute to the Great British Motorway System. A narrative created by constantly moving across tarmac. A biography on roads. A spiritual journey through the sacred service stations of the country. A meditation of traffic jams.
Following on from the best-selling Grey Area Issue 1 (although unrelated narratively), Tim’s second issue further establishes a unique voice and vision in British comics, as he explores the mysterious connection between electricity pylons and standing stones. Lines painted on roads. Roads drawn on maps.
Grey Area Issue 2 is printed in A4 size, and consists of 28 black and white pages, with a silver […]
Having had such a great time at the Sheffield Zine Fair and DIY Cultures, we decided we wanted more, and that more would be the Spring Comica Comiket. The Autumn Comiket was fantastic with lots of cool artists drawing live and being projected on a big screen and soundtracked by some excellent music. We met some great people, sold a lot of “stuff” and launched issue one of Grey Area to an adoring public, complete with a signing by Tim Bird! For this Spring Comiket we’re ecstatic to tell you that Tim has completed issue two of Grey Area and so we’ll be launching that here, again with a Tim Bird signing! I’ve been lucky enough to see an advance copy and can tell you that it’s possibly even better than issue one, which, if you’ve seen it (and if not why not, hmmm?) you’ll know […]
