I feel like I've sunk into the world in these comics and can't click back into reality. Really unsettling and vivid environment, so close to our reality but... not. Though if there was a plot, I was lost. This book in hardcover is gorgeous.

This beautiful new collection of Welsh comics artist Chris Reynolds' very difficult to find work is a revelation: lovely, strange, subtle and poetic stories with light touches of surrealism and scifi. Think Jim Jarmusch films, Chris Ware's mundane-meets-fantastic style (Reynolds might be an influence?), Twin Peaks, Samuel Beckett... but this stuff is truly unique, like a dream made of white paper and black ink.
