Flooded civilisations have long been a staple of post-apocalyptic fiction… Few have executed their dystopian vision with quite as much panache as Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray do here.

Jim Murray’s gorgeous art is reminiscent in style of a toned-down Simon Bisley, and his attention to detail really brings this grimy, waterlogged world to life.

It’s not the first time noir has been merged with science fiction, but the execution is absolutely first class. Murray’s illustration is simply stunning… [Morrison’s] script is razor-sharp… Together, Morrison and Murray have created a wonderful piece of cross-genre fiction, an homage to both noir and sci-fi, honing it down to a gritty but beautiful piece of work.

Morrison quickly fleshes out characters and plot with aplomb while Murray’s gorgeous art ensures this is a thrilling no-holds barred adventure from start to finish...

A super read… Drowntown reaches high and achieves much of it, comedy, adventure, intrigue, entertainment and sumptuous art – I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything else quite like it for a while.

It would be no exaggeration to say that Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray’s Drowntown: Book One is one of the best books that I’ve read all year… This is a book to rival the best stories ever published by 2000 AD, the kind of book that comes along once in a generation, often imitated but rarely matched. Buy it.

A fast paced, blast through a flooded future London packed with great characters.

I laughed so hard, I sank to the floor

There’s plenty more to pique your interest here, such as Jacky Fleming’s ferociously funny The Trouble With Women.

The genius is in how it takes its world for granted, which is normalizing and unsettling at once… Runs with zany, deadpan exuberance through the story of women in history.

Fleming lays out the unwritten rules that have dominated the stories we tell ourselves… Fleming’s anger is wielded with a wit sharp enough to draw blood… With pocket sized print and wicked satire, Fleming avoids becoming too angry in her manifesto – heaven forbid! – by focusing on humour while planting the seeds of broader issues behind the jokes.

Feminist satirical cartoonist, Jacky Fleming, perfectly encapsulates this sexism in her hilarious book, The Trouble with Women.

A brilliantly witty book of cartoons, it reveals some of our greatest thinkers’ baffling theories about women… Get ready to laugh, wince and rescue forgotten women from the ‘dustbin of history’, whilst keeping a close eye out for tell-tale ‘genius hair’. You will never look at history in the same way again.

The Trouble With Women is a wonderful, wonderful book. Jacky Fleming’s biting wit leaps off the… I can’t recall the last time I literally laughed out loud so many times whilst reading.

This is a thoroughly recommended collection and a diverting gift for a friend.

Mixing brilliant images with witty captions… Clever, funny and shocking work.

Fleming is a gifted illustrator with a sharp sense of humour... I read it any time I have a bad day

Characteristically witty and well-observed

Jacky Fleming…is brilliantly, mordantly funny and extremely clever, and these are her finest drawings yet… The book is savagely funny and wonderfully constructed, so that you start off giggling uncontrollably but then grow quieter at each successive misogynistic shocker… There isn’t a man, woman or child who wouldn’t benefit from spending time with this.

Jacky Fleming nails it with her razor-sharp observational writing and drawing in this very funny and fresh take on women in history. Fleming is a genius but with normal hair

Highly original and very funny. Takes history and turns it upside down, adding generous dollops of wit and charm

Ferociously funny
