      A page-turning, Kafkaesque dark comedy in brilliant retro style, this graphic novel watches one man try to keep it together while everything falls apart. Upon the publication of his latest novel, G. H. Fretwell, a minor English writer, embarks on a book tour to promote it. Nothing is going according to plan, and his trip gradually turns into a nightmare. But now the police want to ask him some questions about a mysterious disappearance, and it seems that Fretwell's troubles are only just beginning... In his first book for adults in many years, acclaimed cartoonist Andi Watson evokes all the anxieties felt by every writer and compresses them into a comedic gem of a book. Witty, surreal, and sharply observant, The Book Tour offers a captivating lesson in letting go.

    • Rod Grafton und Louise Bright sind verliebt und wollen heiraten. Als sie unerwartet arbeitslos werden, geraten ihre Heiratspläne ins Stocken und sie müssen darüber nachdenken, wie sie ihr weiteres Leben verbringen wollen. Während Louise wieder die Schulbank drückt, versucht Rob alles, seinen alten Job wieder zurückzubekommen. Doch als seine ehemalige Firma schließen muss und alles verloren ist, versinkt Rob in Depressionen, welche ihn nicht nur davon abhalten, einen neuen Job zu finden, sondern auch dazu bringen, Louise abzuweisen. Im gegenwärtigen England spielend, ist Breakfast After Noon ein einzigartiges Comicerlebnis, das sich mehr mit den Irrungen und Wirrungen des realen Lebens beschäftigt als mit einer verwickelten Geschichte oder dem Blendwerk des Fantastischen. Mit dem sicheren Geschick, Charaktere mit nur wenig, gut platzierten Strichen zum Leben zu erwecken, hat sich Andi Watson als einer der Top-Comicautoren etabliert. Mit seiner bisher besten Arbeit, erschafft er mit Breakfast After Noon ein Universum, in dem sich jeder wieder finden kann, der einmal über beide Ohren verliebt war oder sich in einer Situation befand, aus der er keinen Ausweg mehr sah.

      It's hard enough for your average person to get a date with all the anxieties we have in our modern world. For Jack, it's even worse. Where he lives, superheroes are a common sight, flying through the air and showing off their outrageous muscles in their skintight outfits. In comparison, a regular guy must seem boring and puny. So when he meets Nora in the midst of two steroid-cases beating the tar out of each other, he can't help but be a little giddy that she has agreed to go out with him. Too bad it's not that simple. Nora works for Expose, the leading magazine for superpowered trends. Chasing a scoop is a little more important to her than getting scooped off her feet, leaving Jack in the dust once again. To make matters worse, his cat, Guthrie, has gone missing, and though the feline will be returned to him—he's not going to be the same cat Jack remembers.
