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.

What happens when rock stars just won’t die..?
In the second issue of their acclaimed limited series Metroland, Ricky Miller and Julia Scheele (I Don’t Like My Hair Neat, Double Dare Ya) continue the story of South London indie band Electric Dreams, this time focusing on multi-instrumentalist and all-round star, Kathy.
As Stardust continues to fall apart and Jessica Hill remains missing, Kathy hangs out with The Five Years Cult and dreams of the end of the world.
Then, on the b-side, Miller is joined by Rebecca Strickson, as they delve into the past and tell of how Jessica Hill joined the band!

First self-published by the creators back in 2009, Manly Boys is a pastiche of boys’ comics from the dim and distant past, when all an English boy had to care about was playing cricket with his chums, and getting one up on Johnny Foreigner whenever possible.
It features advice on matters such as why ‘Self-Touching is Bad’ and ‘How to Tattoo Yourself’, as well as everything else a young boy needs to know. Although please don’t show it to any actual young boys.
The long awaited companion to Manly Boys, Comely Girls is the essential guide on how to be a lady, written by two […]
