“It was like he’d missed the main part of the story and arrived between the big climax and the end credits. A new order had established itself and everyone- apart from him- was living happily ever after. Nothing interesting could possibly happen between now and the ending.”Philip is searching. For meaning. For connection. For someone to share a moment with. By day- he works from a rented room. By night- he drifts through cafés and bars- dodging awkward chats with his landlady and hoping for something more. When he meets Gina- a local musician- things begin to shift. But relationships are messy- and Philip’s discomfort grows as he stumbles through miscommunications- emotional misfires- and the looming presence of Gina’s intense ex.Add in a crumbling tower- gong baths (whatever they are)- and the quiet ache of modern life- and you have a story that’s tender- funny- and deeply human.A beautifully observed graphic novel about connection- confusion- and the spaces in between. A beautifully observed contemporary fiction graphic novel about connection- confusion- and the spaces in between from a rising star in the UK comics scene.
