“Who is Melissa?”

“The monster that lives in our walls.”

British Comics Awards Nomination for Gill Hatcher!

Avery Hill Publishing is delighted to announce that ‘The Beginner’s Guide to Being Outside’ by Gill Hatcher, has been shortlisted for the British Comic Awards in the category of Young People’s Comic Awards. We couldn’t be more proud of Gill who has worked so hard and created a beautiful piece of work that is being enjoyed by readers of all ages. The work the BCA is doing to introduce new reads to comics is invaluable and we’re delighted to be a part of that through Gill’s brilliant book.

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.

A Quiet Disaster by Alex Potts

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 Gets the Best Fan Mail

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!

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.
