John of the Night
Darryl Cunningham
Out 2nd September 2026
184 pages, paperback, full colour, 164 x 234mm
A scientist races against a god‑killing cult, cosmic collapse, and his witch‑queen ex‑wife to save creation—even if it costs him the person he loves most.
At the centre of all creation lies Far Eternity, where universes converge and reality is kept in balance. Scientist John of the Night and his daughter Aysha uncover a plot by The Perfection—a fanatical cult—to kill God and reboot the “flawed” multiverse into something supposedly perfect. As if that’s not enough, Medea—Aysha’s mother and a witch‑queen with a flair for drama—plans to sacrifice her to recharge her magic and avert an invasion. With cosmic forces closing in, John faces an impossible choice: save Aysha or risk the collapse of all existence.
Inspired by Jack Kirby’s grand cosmic epics, John of the Night blends humour, myth, and multiversal mayhem with themes of sacrifice, destiny, and the baffling indifference of higher powers. A cosmic adventure driven by a fraught but fiercely loyal father–daughter
bond against reality‑shattering odds.
The Kickstarter campaign for John of the Night is launching soon!
I Love This Part (10th Anniversary Edition)
Tillie Walden
Out 30th Sept 2026
72 pages, paperback, full colour throughout, 148 x 210mm
A brand new edition celebrating the tenth anniversary of Tillie Walden’s acclaimed I Love This Part!
This new edition features an all-new foreword from best-selling comics superstar Alice Oseman, the author of Heartstopper .
A slice-of-life graphic novel story of two girls and the moments of their lives that lead up to them falling in love.
Two girls in a small town in the USA kill time together as they try to get through their days at school. They watch videos, share earbuds as they play each other songs and exchange their stories. In the process they form a deep connection and an unexpected relationship begins to develop.
In her follow up to the critically acclaimed The End of Summer, Tillie Walden tells the story of a small love that can make you feel like the biggest thing around, and how it’s possible to find another person who understands you when you thought no-one could.
Another Realm
Kristyna Baczynski
Out 21st October 2026
220 pages, paperback, full colour throughout, 239 x 168mm
A luminous journey through the worlds, wonders, and warm‑hearted imagination of Kristyna Baczynski.
A vibrant, career-spanning celebration of the work of British-Ukrainian illustrator and cartoonist Kristyna Baczynski, bringing together her acclaimed graphic novel Retrograde Orbit with a rich selection of her self-published comics and illustrated zines.
This collection showcases Baczynski’s unmistakable visual voice—pages alive with colour, emotion, and intricate characterisation. Drawing on inspirations that range from nature and folklore to 1990s pop nostalgia and gentle sci-fi atmospheres, her work creates worlds that are warm, strange, imaginative, and deeply human. Readers will find tender autobiographical pieces, exuberant short comics, playful experiments in risograph printmaking, and the full sweep of Retrograde Orbit, her coming-of-age tale of identity heritage, and finding one’s place in the cosmos.
Across more than a decade of making, Baczynski has built a body of work that bridges independent zine culture with mainstream publishing, collaborating with houses such as Penguin Random House, Hachette, 2000 AD, Carlton, and Canongate. This volume gathers the very best of her small-press output alongside her major long-form work, offering a definitive introduction to an artist whose storytelling is as heartfelt as it is visually distinctive.
A richly illustrated, genre‑blending collection for fans of contemporary comics, risograph art, and creators with a singular, imaginative world of their own.
Under Ismyre
B. Mure
Out 4th November 2026
114 pages, paperback, full colour throughout, 210 x 148mm
The stunning conclusion to the fantastical Ismyre series.
In the sweeping conclusion to B. Mure’s quietly powerful and allegorical Ismyre saga, the city trembles in the aftermath of the catastrophic events that closed Disciples of the Soil. With the land still shifting beneath their feet and political tensions at an all-time high, the citizens of Ismyre must confront the consequences of unchecked ambition, ecological imbalance, and years of simmering unrest.
Told with Mure’s signature tenderness, wry humour, and atmospheric watercolour artwork, this final volume weaves together themes of resistance, community care, environmental stewardship, and the fragile, ever-present hope that small actions can reshape the world.
Both intimate and sweeping in scope, it brings the Ismyre cycle to a deeply human, cathartic, and magical close—a farewell to a world of quiet wonders, uneasy truths, and the enduring strength found in solidarity.
The final Ismyre graphic novel is a poignant, beautifully crafted conclusion to one of contemporary comics’ most distinctive and enchanting fantasy series.
Growing up, I used to hear that expression, “No Man is an island,” and I never knew what it meant. I heard it from my school teachers, my parents, my family elders and even some of my neighbors. With no one explaining it right out, I assumed, that you can’t accomplish most things by yourself. This is partially true, but as I grew older, I realized it was more than that.
