Grey Area – Our Town
by Tim Bird
Each issue of Tim Bird’s award winning series Grey Area has explored a different landscape, and in Our Town, Tim turns his focus to remembered places.
He recalls memories from childhood and draws on his relationship with his wife, to investigate how our lives are informed by the environment that we experience, and the times and places within which we exist.
These aspects of our lives are questioned and interrogated throughout the comic – memories change and places change, whilst we are shaped by our connections with those close to us, as well as the landscapes we inhabit.
32 pages, full colour, 210x297mm, £7.00 RRP 
The End of Summer
by Tillie Walden
In a secluded castle, at the beginning of a winter that is predicted to last for three years, Lars is battling illness and boredom. He passes the time with his siblings and his giant cat, Nemo, as secrets are revealed and tensions within the family begin to simmer…
Tillie Walden’s classic debut graphic novel returns in this special edition that includes
the new prequel story, ‘Lars & Nemo’.
100 pages, black and white with a colour cover, 207x297mm, £11.99 RRP
Untitled Ape’s Epic Adventure
by Steven Tillotson
On this particular morning in this particular place, Untitled Ape (a giant purple ghost-beast) has decided he needs to see his family. His friend Cat (a cat) doesn’t think it’s a particularly good idea, but at this very moment a massive storm rolls in, and their epic adventure begins.
Without a map or much of a plan, they journey through flooded cities and stormy seas, across frozen plains and snowy mountains, and even up into the world of the clouds on their quest to find Ape’s home in the jungle. Along the way they make the acquaintance of a cast of incredible characters, who both help and hinder them to equal degree.
Meanwhile and elsewhere, Ape’s past is starting to catch up with him, and it becomes more and more difficult to keep his dark past from Cat…
What happened to Ape? Why doesn’t he have a name? And can he resist the pressure to return to his old life and make sure his friends and family are safe? These are the questions that Jonathan Cape/Observer Graphic Short Story Prize Runner-Up Steven Tillotson wrestles with and ultimately answers in his long-awaited saga of trial, tribulation, and friendship.
132 pages, full colour, 239x168mm, £12.99 RRP
