A year after the death of her friend, Alix’s depression and grief still hound her in this personally-inspired graphic novel.
Loopy . . . cuckoo . . . stark raving. . . .
When the depression and grief Alix feels over the death of her friend overwhelm her, she’s institutionalized. But inside a psychiatric ward, things don’t get better for her—now she has nowhere to get away from her rapidly-spiraling thoughts. As Alix navigates disinterest- ed attendants, group therapy, and isolation, she must build herself a new equilibrium and tame the black dog of her depression.
Inspired by her own struggles with mental health, Lucy Sullivan tells a powerful, emotional story about the problems that sometimes overwhelm us all—and the failures in the mental health system we depend on.

Safer Places by Kit Anderson – Out 26th March 2024
208 pages, paperback, full colour throughout, 160 x 220mm

A new collection of stories about isolation, memory, liminal spaces, and small magic from one of comics’ up-and-coming voices.
From road trips to doctors’ offices to the mysterious spaces under the house, Kit Anderson’s short stories explore the secrets and magic typically unseen in everyday life. A walk through the forest, a family move, a day in a normal life—Anderson’s depictions of these ordinary moments transform them with a double-take, revealing the strangeness, surreality, and transformation within.
With powerful and personal emotional writing and art, thoughtfully combining magic and life as we all know it—these stories establish Kit Anderson as a presence in short comics-format fiction.

Experience a universe-spanning sci-fi adventure in Infinite Wheatpaste.

Relationships . . . androids . . . car repair . . . time travel . . . gods – these interconnected stories set on the edges of human experience share the moments of the little bits of life that feel less than real.

Abby and Lilah are a couple drifting apart. Jeff is a flaming star. Soe is a perpetually late college student and the goddess next door. Casimir is a man with a past, and Abe is his future, maybe everyone’s future. Otis is a grief-stricken robot on a road to enlightenment. Groob is fun-loving and the salt of the earth. Some are slowly making their way to each other, but some are breaking apart.

L. Pidge is a Colorado cartoonist and educator. She has been writing and drawing her epic series Infinite Wheatpaste since 2016 and has no intention of stopping anytime soon….

Disciples of the Soil by B. Mure – Out 9th July 2024
88 pages, paperback, full colour throughout, 148mm x 210mm

A graphic novel fantasy about a new rail line scheduled to be built across Ismyre that threatens to disrupt both the stability of the land and the god who lies beneath the soil.
When the Prime Minister announces a new rail line in Ismyre, there are protests: from the wizards, who are concerned about the country’s magic, from the naturalists, who fear the damage to the soil, plants, and animals, and from the Sisters of Our Lady Who Slumbers Under the Earth, who would prefer their giant serpent deity to rest peacefully.
As the railway proceeds, the worries of the wizards and the naturalists come to pass . . . and the earth has begun to shake. . . .
A new book in the creative, fantastical Ismyre series drawn in pencil and watercolor by Bristol-based creator B. Mure. Mure continues to expand the Ismyre universe, this time with a story of industry and ecology.
