Show & Tell

(A5 24 page black & white comic with colour cover)

Flip-comic showcase from Gary Bainbridge (unterweltcomics.blogspot.com) and myself.

Read from one side and you’ll find two original tales from me – one about pensioners, the supernatural and Countdown; the other about Big Things Hiding Behind Small Things. Read from the other and you’ll find a spin-off from Gary’s popular Nightbus series and a rare period piece from this contemporary cartoonist.

All new strips, exclusive to this book.

“Waugh’s Madame Doreen, Medium is a slight, but fair funny tale of an unexpected and misdirected haunting following a seance. I do like Waugh’s artistic style, all minimal linework and nice cartoony expressions and he’s a nice turn of phrase in his dialogue. Bainbridge shows promise with what he does, since the actual conversation dialogue did flow rather nicely across the pages with a good, naturalistic tone. It makes me interested to see more of both artists…as an artist showcase it does the trick.”

“Waugh’s side of this comic is far more my sort of thing…It is basically just several pages of the old lady talking to herself, but it manages to be funny and a bit sad at the end. Waugh’s second piece is the super awesome Big Things Hiding Behind Small Things and makes this whole comic worth picking up. It’s just pictures of big things (ogres, dinosaurs) “hiding” behind small things (lamps, shrubbery), but I love drawings of monsters, and the expressions of fear and awkwardness Waugh somehow manages to show in robots and man-eating plants is pretty impressive.”
