The Beginner’s Guide to Being Outside
By Gill Hatcher
Megan is a 14 year old girl who lives in Manchester with her mum and stepdad. Like most teenagers she is entirely reliant upon technology, until a family trip to the Scottish highlands reconnects her with nature and helps her to find solace during a turbulent time in her home life.
“It’s beautifully full of flights of fancy and as a counterpoint has moments of childhood sadness. It examines the interiors and exteriors of life and has an eye for wildlife that makes me want to go out and buy some binoculars.”
Tony Esmond, Never Iron Anything
” Unassuming and delicately constructed, The Beginner’s Guide to Being Outside is a triumphant and gorgeously executed piece of all-ages storytelling”
Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
Days
By Simon Moreton
A collection covering Moreton’s comics output from 2011 and 2012, including three out-of-print issues of his acclaimed ongoing autobiographical series SMOO, and ten strips created for anthologies, including one previously unpublished piece.
“These are comics you’ll feel you’ve lived.”
Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
“Moreton’s very much in the John Porcellino wing of comics-as-poetry school as he tells very short stories about his environment, his memories and his anxieties”
Rob Clough, The Comics Journal
Grey Area I-III
By Tim Bird
Exclusive to SEQUENTIAL, a collection of the first three issues of Tim Bird’s Grey Area series (issues 1 & 2 are out of print) featuring a brand new cover by Bird.
“This is beautiful work, Bird creating images that sit there and demand the reader ask questions, images that look gorgeous yet also demand that the reader engage”
Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International
“Grey Area is a piece of beautifully understated storytelling from Tim Bird, and one that fully deserves your considered attention and support”
Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
Maleficium
By EdieOP
The story of Huxley Leighton-Lomax; an aspiring wizard who should know better than to feed the dark forces that lurk in the corners of his home. Will Huxley know enough magic when it’s up to him to save the day?
“‘Maleficium’ is a staggeringly good début graphic novel from EdieOP, full of childish fantasy, delightful escapism and more than a hint of very cleverly done doubt”
Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International
“In ‘Maleficium’ the Mistress of Mischief has proved that her ability to captivate and beguile her audience is just as pronounced in a long-form narrative as it was in her shorter style work.”
Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
