We are delighted to announce we’re joining forces with comics powerhouse Comic Book Slumber Party to publish Deep Space Canine – the next instalment of their British Comic Award nominated CBSP series.
Life in space can be tough – and when you’re balancing a hydro-herb habit, mysterious intruders and an impending reunion, things get even tougher.
Luckily, Space Commander Greasy is not alone, and with the help of her best robot pal, Cybernetic Unit Normally for Troubleshooting, she (and her ship) might just get through the next 24 hours in one piece!

A boy. A strange planet.
The urge to step out of the boundaries and explore. To fly. To ascend.
But what happens after ascent? What happens when you land? And what happens when you find yourself in a place where your dreams are no-one’s but your own?

Something City is an exploration of modern day living through representations of the lives of different groups of people in an imagined place. Segregated communities of young people, elders, fanatics, techies and the religious live side by side, interweaving and cohabiting in a city they build around themselves.
Beautifully composed establishing pages introduce us to each group before we’re taken through a short journey inside each of their worlds.
Stunning artwork and wry, odd and moving stories come together to produce a book that is as much an inspired work of imagination as it is an examination of what is important, unique and also universal, about the cities we live in today.
