Quiller Publishing Ltd Some Damn Fool's Signed the Rubens Again
Book SynopsisThe artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment. Some Damn Fool’s Signed the Rubens Again is Thelwell’s look at life in Britain’s stately homes, and what happens when they are opened to the public. Here are the castles, country estates, and the quirks of the British class system all depicted in the artist’s inimitable style. When an ancestral home is crumbling, or an aristocratic family is debt-ridden, the solution calls for drastic action. It is time to welcome in the paying public. Thelwell’s cartoons capture the comic situations that result when the noble residents come face to face with the curious visitors. See the duke in his tower preparing to repel the coachloads with boiling oil; a ghost train in the family vault; toddlers wrecking treasured heirlooms; and animals in the safari park watching the hilarious human spectacle unfold.Trade Review'This is a lovely book to gift a friend or just to have sitting on a coffee table.' -- Country Squire, January 2024

Thames & Hudson Ltd Mangasia
Book SynopsisThis beautiful and engaging volume charts the evolution of manga from its roots in late 19th-century Japan through the many and varied forms of comics, cartoons and animation created throughout Asia for more than 100 years. World authority on comic art Paul Gravett details the evolving meanings of the myths and legends told and retold by manga artists of every decade and reveals the development and cross pollination of cultural and aesthetic ideas between manga artists throughout Asia. He explores the explosion of creativity in manga after the Second World War with the emergence of such artists as Osamu Tezuka, whose pioneering Astro Boy spawned a new and much imitated visual dynamic. He highlights how creators have responded to political events since 1950 in the form of propaganda, criticism and commentary in manga magazines, comics and books. There have been many remarkably powerful and sophisticated graphic novels, although some sexually explicit and emotionally dark adult manga has also attracted criticism, raising questions about taste and acceptability. Gravett discusses the influence of censorship on manga and concludes with a survey of current multi- platform offerings of manga in Asia and the transition from cut-price rental libraries to the booming specialist emporia and comic conventions that champion the kaleidoscope of creativity apparent in the digital age.Trade Review'A fat and lushly illustrated volume that is as likely to work for fans of manga as for those who remain entirely baffled by it' - Observer'A rich overview of the evolution of a distinct and vital visual culture and its origins' - ArtReview AsiaTable of Contents1.

Andrews McMeel Publishing Why Are You Like This?: An ArtbyMoga Comic
Book SynopsisA collection of comics with a millennial take on marriage, adulthood, pet ownership, self-love, and self-care. Finally, comics that answer life’s most pressing questions: Is my partner actually upset or just hangry? Whose turn is it to remember the reusable shopping bags? Is it appropriate to put up Halloween décor two months in advance? (Spoiler alert: Yes. Yes, it is.) “Opposites attract” has never rung truer when it comes to vivacious extrovert Meg and her level-headed introvert husband, Carson. Carson makes his coffee with only the finest locally roasted beans; Meg microwaves two-day-old joe. Carson is reserved and rarely opens up to friends; Meg ensures everyone in her life—including her mailman—knows about her hemorrhoid. From the joys of marrying your best friend to the bizarre musings of a twelve-pound pup to the humour and heartbreak of anxiety, Meg’s all-too-relatable comics leave no stone unturned. Dorky and downright hilarious, Why Are You Like This? explores what it means to make fun of oneself and find laughter in the little things.Trade Review“Meg Adams pulls inspiration from the mundane and turns it into intensely relatable content that is hilarious, absurd, and so touching.” (Destiny Johnsons, The Oregonian)"Why Are You Like This? is a great antidote for doom scrolling or when you want a laugh about the dorky, little things in life and relationships, or just need a gentle hug and reassurance that things will be okay.” (Gay League)“Reading this book feels like I’m hanging out with a relatable and hilarious best friend! Meg is a master of hilarious facial expressions!” (Alina Tysoe, author of What’s Up Beanie?)“Meg’s comics have a certain something that makes them ridiculously charming… and when I found out what that 'something’ is, I’m stealing it.” (Jimmy Craig, author of They Can Talk: A Collection of Comics about Animals)This was so stinking cute and relatable in so many ways! The illustrations were hilarious and the situations the characters found themselves in had me laughing out loud on every other page and nodding my head the next. I’m a single woman myself, but Why Are You Like this perfectly depicts what it’s like to exist as a woman in general. Our quirks, desires, and thoughts, and how much of a rollercoaster of emotions it can be. I saw myself in this graphic novel and it left me feeling warm, fuzzy, and most of all- understood. It was as short and sweet as this review, haha! (Read As A Dornail, Medium.com)

Quiller Publishing Ltd Shooting Types: The Second Barrel
Book SynopsisSome time late in the last century, Giles Catchpole and Bryn Parry began to catalogue the varied characters to be found in the shooting field and the results of their researches have been published monthly in The Shooting Gazette. Now, they have loaded up another game bag's worth of sharply written and wittily observed Shooting Types and unleashed them onto an expectant readership through The Second Barrel. Here is an extended line of assorted Guns, good and not so good. Some shoot like gods, quite a lot don't. Some own dogs that retrieve what they have shot and some have dogs who chase what they haven't. There is a supporting cast of spouses, partners and significant others — some being supportive and others less so. And then there are the keepers, beaters, pickers-up, hosts and hostesses without whom the whole undertaking would be utterly impossible and therefore no fun at all. If you shoot or go shooting you will recognise many of the characters in this book. You may remember them with a sigh of pleasure or a gasp of horror, or something in between. Who knows, you might even see aspects of yourself here, or if you can't, the person who gave this book to you probably does.Trade ReviewA brilliant book observing the eccentricities of sportsmen, dogs, beaters, hosts and supporting characters.
