Anfield Road: The Lost Adventure

Conor lives at home with his Gran on Anfield Road, Liverpool. Life is routine – Findus Crispy Pancakes for tea, drunk scallies on the way to the footy, and a school that's more like a prison. Conor dreams of getting out, going to art college in London with his girlfriend Maureen… but he's terrified of leaving his sick, domineering grandmother behind and striking out on his own. What follows is a Northern Fantasy, as Conor investigates bigotry, sickness, and being true to himself, all against the glorious backdrop of 1980s Liverpool. This is one of the best and most powerful graphic novels I've seen. – David Quantick It's fascinating to see such a beautiful rendition of Anfiled in the late 80s, a neglected landscape that I knew so well." – Alexi Sayle The economy and beauty of this graphic novel highlights how talented (and probably underrated) his is as both a storyteller and an artist." – David Shrigley
