The Exampleby Tom Taylor & Colin Wilson
The award-winning play is finally a comic book! Two people. A train station. An unattended Briefcase. Prejudice versus Preservation. In the war on terror, will suspicion and fear be the big winners? "...a skilfully executed commentary on instilled modern paranoia in a brief case of racism at a train station." - Media & Culture Reviews "...touches on the war on terror, notions of trust and suspicion and the bases for them, bigotry, credulity, offbeat romance, superstition, alienation and more. All this, from an abandoned bag on a suburban railway platform." - Australian Stage Online Featuring cover art by Colin Wilson & Justin Randall
Waldo's Hawaiian Holidayby Alex Cox, Chris Bones & Justin Randall Repo Man is one of the great cult movies of the eighties; now Cox and artists Chris Bones & Justin Randall have delivered a graphic novel sequel that takes the punk aesthetic of the original film and delivers it kicking and screaming into 2008...
Cox explains: "Ten years after REPO MAN, I became interested in the idea of a sequel. Specifically - what had happened to Otto, during his ten-year absence from Earth? And what would he make of the changes which had taken place in his absence? Otto, it would appear, has been held prisoner, in great luxury, on the planet Mars. Now he has returned to Earth, and changed his name -- to Waldo." Synopsis: Sample chapter available at www.waldoshawaiianholiday.com !
Vowelsby Skye Ogden Simple forms, detailed worlds, real characters...
Spanning five imaginary eras, "Vowels" examines the human condition through eyes that aren't human at all and serves as a gentle reminder to look at ourselves and all that we are capable of. "Awesome art direction and narrative. Truly an inspiring, reflective piece of brutality
& beauty that deserves to be read by
all." "Ogden is an enormously stylish artist, and he’s made an ambitious debut." - Publisher’s Weekly "In Skye Ogden you definitely have a skilled cartoonist, and a creator to watch." - Heroic Times "Vowels" draws you into its seemingly-familiar landscapes and the lives of the creatures who inhabit them, and it holds you there long after you’ve finished reading. Sample chapter available at www.skyeogden.com
