The start of any look at publisher Atomeka Press has to start with their anthology 'A1' - not A1 in size but def. A1 in terms of content / creators. This is the original series.

Dez Skinn has used lockdown to write his autobiography - volume 1 (!) is now available

Oh now when that's all done that will be a fascinating read. Not sure I'd want to pay £100 for it mind (assuming that it is in 5 parts - Dez does have a LOT to tell).

Given the little I know about Dez the issue will be getting the full picture not just what Dez Sez which I suspect (??) might need a pinch of salts?

1) How much do you actually have to pay for this book?

2) Considering the author's reputation within the comics industry / community, is it actually worth it...?

3) Has anyone here actually ordered this and if so, how long would it (probably) take to arrive? Will it arrive? Does anyone expect it to?

[Richard S.]

all the other books I've ordered from Dez have arrived so, yeah, I'd expect it to arrive. Why wouldn't you expect it to arrive?

I've ordered a copy so I'll let you know how long it takes to arrive.

As to whether it's worth it...that's a rather subjective question, again, once I've read it I'm happy to let you know.

Continuing my look at the 'Rivers of London' comic series...this time it's "Night witch" series. If anyone can help identify the cover artists that'd be really great.

How much is it though? £17.50? More?

See other thread with the same question.

Ok, thanks!
