2x Brett Ewins and Peter Milligan collects two stories by one of the great UK comics duos for the first time. Rooney's Lay shows the space age and sleaze colliding in newly wild ways, while in the disquieting In The Penal Colony, they unforgettably adapt Kafka's story.

The cartoons of Kevin Woodcock are an unnerving trip to a place that is just not quite right. In these glimpses of unease the funny bone is always exposed and the widest grin belongs to a skull. Discover one of the most distinctive voices in British cartooning.

I'll Be Glad When Today Is Over is a new selection of the work of Kevin Woodcock - spend a day in his world as a series of calamities unfold about you. Sudden octopi and horrifying zoos, bleak tropical islands and unwelcoming living rooms; all indelible and hilarious.

If Lynne Ramsay can sing the song over the end credits of her new film, there's nothing stopping Brian De Palma doing a rap over the end credits of his new film that summarises the plot, as God intends.

Another Way Out collects 3 new comics by Carol Swain. The landscapes are wreathed with ghosts, and the spaces between words spill over with unsaid secrets. Elusive and intriguing, these stories are never quite what you expect, but always a truth you have known all along.

2 x Carol Swain is a perfect intro to the elusive, intriguing work of Carol Swain. A road trip reveals troubling truths, and the spectre of war hangs uneasily over a small town. With new introductions and an interview with the artist.

2 x Chris Reynolds is a collection of Space Food, from 1990, where sci-fi and kitchen sink collide in an uneasy fashion, and 2005's The Animals' War, where time travel proves to be less of a blessing than first thought, and the landscapes are littered with dark warnings.

If DC and Rebellion are talking, might we hope that Metalzoic becomes a possibility again?

Our first zine of UK comic ephemera collects together some of the most historic and attractive of the price stickers that UK comic shops have used over the last 50 years. Both a valuable record of how comics have been sold, and a potent nostalgia bomb.

In Silent Pictures, without words, O’Neill conjures an astonishing pair of feverish stories, brimming with detail on every page, packed with some of the most exciting, twisted artwork ever put to paper. Gorgeously painted in luminous colour, no fan of his work can afford to miss out. (2/3)
