Killjoy #1

Killjoy is a vehicle for my ongoing cartoon memoir project, Catch a Fairy, a gradual accumulation of stories and vignettes from my childhood. Issue one features ‘Cub Camp’ (21 pages), the story of my first experience of camping, with the Cub Scouts.  [A5 size]

Praise for Killjoy #1:

“Killjoy is a joyous exploration of childhood memories and simpler times […] There are moments to make you laugh, others to make you cringe, and an overwhelming flood of sentimentality for the innocence of childhood. In an age where that’s all but disappeared, Killjoy makes for a delightfully indulgent read.”

Chris Thompson, Pop Culture Hound

“Brown’s art in the pages of Killjoy has an open, slightly cartoony style that still resonates with an appropriate and often detailed realism […] Killjoy has a remarkable knack for turning back the years for the reader and allowing them to briefly see the world with childhood eyes again. Definitely one to watch out for.”

Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

“Well written, engaging and beautifully illustrated, it left me wishing there was more of it. A lot more of it.”

Camila Barboza, Orbital Comics
