FUTURE CRIMES #1
February 2nd, 2022
If the plague era has taught us anything it’s that the power of raw delusion should not be underestimated. With Future Crimes #1 we set out to prove that anything can be a holiday if you’re suitably alienated from yourself.
- In Personal Development, we explore how being grilled by your boss can be a gateway to conspiracy!
- In Your New Bookshelf: A Lover’s Guide, we explore the previously underappreciated erotic potential of mass produced domesticity!
- In Return to the Borderlands, ex examine the distances you can travel just to get a peak at the back of your own head!
If theme isn’t your thing, Future Crimes #1 also hosts a brief outbreak of poetry and a previously unseen page by Leith-based artist and spirit wrangler Shaky Ghost, who will return with a full strip in issue #2!
UK readers can buy the print edition here, and anyone who’s interested can download a free PDF copy here!
KIND WORDS FROM HANDSOME STRANGERS…
“Inventive, impressive, and surreal” – BrodyQuixote
“Fantastic and surreal chap book” – Garry Mac
“Would you describe it as Ballardian? And would you say some of the stories took place a liminal space? Jesus Christ David, did your mother not teach you shame?” – The Hitsville boys
Cut-Out Witch – now available for FREE!
July 8th, 2017
A collaboration with Edinburgh based artist and ghost merchant Shaky Ghost, Cut-Out Witch contains twenty five pages worth of lost souls and lo-fi monster magic – imagine a teen goth Terminus and you’ll be on the right track. Shaky Ghost provided the pictures, I added the words, but if you want to cleanse yourself with holy water after reading then I’m afraid you’ll have to bring your own bottle.
“Cut-Out Witch is really good… Lovely creepy stuff” – Twitter’s own James Baker
“Almost every page made me laugh or smile or feel things” – comics’ own Ales Kot
“You do seem to be able to dash such things off quite easily, I kind of wish I could do that…” – A Trout in the Circus’ very own Plok
You can buy the print edition here if you want to make a couple of lost souls happy, but Cut-Out Witch is now available for FREE in PDF format!
