Dilraj Mann’s debut graphic novel, Dalston Monsterzz, looks and reads like a hipster Studio Ghibli movie, with it’s bizarre mix of fashionable young things, eclectic street thugs and giant monsters flying around the streets of east London.
Good Comics continue to make a really interesting name for themselves on the UK small press scene, as publishers of diverse and challenging comics, as well as some classic lo-fi zines via their new Good Zines imprint!
