Description

Billie Scott is an artist.

Her debut gallery exhibition opens in a few months.

Within a fortnight she'll be completely blind.

Zoe Thorogood's first graphic novel is a story about what it's like to get something you want, have it immediately taken away from you and then how you put it all back together again. Set in a world of people down on their luck from Middlesbrough to London, it's a graphic novel that speaks of post-austerity Britain and the problems facing those left behind.

This book is debut work of an exciting author who is a great new talent in the world of comics.

Critical Reviews

"An impressive debut packed with startlingly fresh details and buzzy atmosphere. This expansive story of an artist's journey embraces both the power of art and human connection and showcases a new comics talent." --PW, Starred Review

"Zoe is a new voice on the UK indie comic scene, but she's already marking out her territory as an emerging voice to listen to.... there's a lot of visual personality leaping from these pages." -- A Place to Hang Your Cape

"A moving and enjoyable story. Her character development is immaculately paced, revealing only what is needed when it's needed. Superb storytelling. An entertaining comic well worth reading." -- Almost Normal Comics

"Zoe is, simply put, a rising talent in comics." --Comics Bookcase
