A Boy and His Dad stars our boy Kevin, a queer kid living in a chaotic household. He likes to find out how animals operate, and is a keen hunter. A slice of life horror, A Boy and His Dad explores what it is like to be a weird kid in an uncertain home and what it is to be a shit dad.
Where it’s Welcome is a grim fairytale, about a small town, a missing child and the Witch who poisons the town folk. This story was inspired by a Terry Pratchett line, Poison goes where poison's welcome, and a true story about a town that drowned two rough sleeping eastern Europeans because they didn’t like where their tent was pitched.
CHÂTEAUVIEUX-DU-QUAIN is a trippy sci-fi comic. Our Heroine, Jude, has to find her sister in the Chateauvieux-Du-Quain, but it’s a big house, that keeps moving. Who is moving the house, and why? Written by max barker, and drawn by Markus Pattern.
