Page 45 Review by Stephen

From the Page 45 Comicbook Of The Month creator of FATALLY-ILL ASTRONAUT FUNNIES and the WET NURSE comics.

All right, then! Nicholas J Woodhead has won me over in every way: he has something to say and loves to play - with words, with images, with formats, compositions, and even preconceptions - mischievously mixing it up to pluck a grand silver lining from the toxic clouds of social inequality, criminal injustice and climate catastrophe in his ultra-succinct NOTHING BUT OPTIMISM ABOUT WHAT'S COMING.

It's like an Adam Curtis documentary compressed to 3 pithily scathing minutes veined with charcoal-black humour - so deftly done.

Woodhead's my fav self-publishing find since Joe Decie - and there is indeed the same sort twinkle when looking through his autobiographical eye, the framing of each panel on the page is just as robust, and the lettering's lovely to boot.
