In Pieces is a beautiful book of visual poetry, in which all common metaphors are explained throu...

(H/B) QUODLIBET
A Q-rated Encyclopaedia! Inspired by the late, great Georges Perec, who is famous for writing a book whose sole subject was the letter 'E', illustrator Katja Spitzer and freelance writer Sebastian Gievert have teamed up to tackle that most quandarous of letters, the letter Q.

(H/B) A GRAPHIC COSMOGONY
It could not be said better than with the introductory words of acclaimed comics expert and organiser of Comica, Paul Gravett: "In the beginning..." When it comes to the birth of comics, like the birth of the cosmos, its still open to speculation. The Book of Genesis might open with In the beginning was the word, but it seems more than likely that In the beginning was the picture. Or at least a picture which served as a word, a visual vehicle for representation and meaning. Mankind surely drew before we could write, but why make a distinct...

Drawing from memories of a childhood home in the Falklands, Jon McNaught uses wordless comic strips and intricate prints to form a playful study of isolation and adventure; Children gather in sprawling peat bogs where ruined military vehicles become secret bases, a fisherman settles down in his cluttered cab...
