This is a fascinating snapshot of indie comics in the UK in the mid nineties. As an artefact of that world it’s fascinating. Unfortunately the stories and strips themselves, for all the good the great creators involved do for the quality of the thing, are amazingly variable. Some of the stories are thuddingly obvious and others frustratingly opaque. Even the psychographry crowd are off their game in this. A frustrating read
