As always, you can click on the images to see them better. This post was originally published on 15 March 2016.

You might have heard of it, but probably not. Today we’re checking out some small comic that gave a young British writer his big break in America. I’m planning on doing these once a week until I have all the old ones here at the blog. But I hope you enjoy these, and if you’ve never read them before, I hope they give you something to read that you might have missed. I plan on keeping them exactly the same, which is why my references might be a bit out of date and, early on, I don’t write about art as much as I do now. I republished my early posts, which I originally wrote on my personal blog, at Comics Should Be Good about ten years ago, but since their redesign, most of the images have been lost, so I figured it was about time I published these a third time, here on our new blog. I began writing these a little over seventeen years ago, and I’m still doing it, because I dig writing long-form essays about comics. Hi, and welcome to Comics You Should Own, a semi-regular series about comics I think you should own.
