<p>Oliver East is one of the best known names in the vibrant British small press scene whose artwork has adorned Elbow's Mercury Award-winning album. His Trains Are...Mint series uses an artist's eye to spot out the many elements which make up the everyday world, but which people often simply tune out and don't notice, spotted as he travels around Manchester. The meandering journeys are all detailed with layered, poetic artwork. This is the first large collection of his work and the recipient of an Ignatz Award nomination.</p>

Randall C's Sleepyhead was a multiple award winner in Europe when released back in 2007. It's a dazzling book which has a lovely, lazy, dreamlike feel which draws you into the majesty of the art. This is a tour-de-force in comics storytelling which produces a book full of philosophy, absurdism, fantasy elements, love and self discovery - plus some of the best drawn whales you'll ever see.

Psychiatric Tales draws on Darryl Cunningham's time working in a psychiatric ward to give a reasoned and sympathetic look into the world of mental illness. In each chapter, Cunningham explores a different mental health problem, using evocative imagery to describe the experience of mental illness, both from the point of view of those beset by illness and their friends and relatives. As Cunningham reveals this human experience, he also shows how society's perceptions of and reactions to mental illness perpetuate needless stigma, for example, the myth that schizophrenic people are more likely to commit crimes than non-schizophrenic people. Psychiatric Tales is a groundbreaking graphic work; it deftly demythologizes and destigmatizes the disorders that 26.2 percent of American adults live with every day.Concluding with a reflection on how mental illness has affected his own life, Darryl Cunningham's Psychiatric Tales is a moving, engaging examination of what is, at its root, the human condition.Darryl Cunningham is the creator of the Web comics Super-Sam and John-of-the-Night and The Streets of San Diablo. He is a prolific cartoonist, sculptor, and photographer, and lives in Leeds, England. This is his first book.
