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!
Manly Boys and Comely Girls, the acclaimed guides to modern existence by Gareth Brookes (The Black Project, The Land of My Heart Chokes on Its Own Abundance) and Steve Tillotson (Banal Pig, Untitled Ape’s Epic Adventure), are now available to buy! 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 men in their mid-thirties. We say again – essential. So finally we can find out about ‘Great Women of History and Their Recipes’, ‘England’s Most Eligible Bachelors’ and answer the age old question – ‘What About Spinsterhood?’. Truly, our nation’s youth is saved! Both are printed in A5 size across 32 pages with full colour covers, and come safely ensconced within a custom made protective sheath.

I don’t want to be her friend anymore.” “Who is Melissa?” “The monster that lives in our walls.” Avery Hill are delighted to announce the publication on 14th November 2014 of EdieOP’s first full-length graphic novel. ‘Maleficium’ is 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?
Edie is an illustrator, creator of comics and truly awful things. She likes to draw in inks and crayon, occasionally paints and works with collage and mixed media to create macabre and sometimes slightly absurd illustrative narratives and comics. Her self-published titles include: ‘Jonah’ and ‘Danger Fun’.
Available for pre-sale on Sunday 2nd November through the AHP website, each copy coming with a drawing by EdieOP.
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. The fact that it’s children who will be voting makes it even more special. 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. It might seem a little contradictory, but getting out and being in nature, and sitting down to read great comics are the two things I would love to see young people have more opportunities to experience. I hope my book can inspire both. It’s great that this category will be judged by school pupils, we’ll be getting feedback directly from our readers.”
The 3rd Annual British Comic Awards Ceremony will take place at 6pm on Saturday 15th November in the Royal Armouries Bury Theatre in Leeds as part of the Thought Bubble Festival. |
