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.

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.

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.
