EXHIBITOR ANNOUNCEMENT 🔊🔊🔊 
Breakdown Press @breakdownpress ARC London Comics Fair Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th July 2026 Unit 08, Copeland Park, Peckham, London SE15 3SN ARC-London.uk

We’re thrilled to announce a launch party with the astounding artist Ferry Gouw (@ferry_gouw )! Ferry will be launching his brand new Breakdown Press (@breakdownpress ) book, Limbo, on Thursday 11th June 2026, from 7-9pm. Here’s what publisher Breakdown say about the book: “Super weird like a crazy fever dream. I liked it and it stuck with me.”- Zadie Smith In an unnamed country, air heavy with the heat of imminent uprising, the decision to go running alone after dark sets in motion a chain of chances and choices that change everybody they touch. Cai, sculptor at an arts residency in an upscale resort, and his colleague Lisa, a local working as his aide, are drawn into a complex series of events in which myth rises in the shadow of politics and the bright lights of festive fireworks. Breakdown Press are excited to publish Ferry Gouw’s new comic Limbo, an exciting and compelling rumination on belonging, the hidden truth of folklore, and the insidious coiling of colonialism. Drawn in luminous, glowing colour, Limbo is a comic that demands to be read,giving light to stories that remain unseen. Ferry will be alongside the amazing CROM, who will be launching his new sketchbook, Bleed Ink, published in association with Gosh! Comics for our 40th anniversary (more details soon). You can meet Ferry Gouw and CROM (@crom.ink ) on Thursday 11th June, from 7pm.

“Super weird like a crazy fever dream. I liked it and it stuck with me.”- Zadie Smith Breakdown Press are pleased to present a new comic from @ferry_gouw - a distressing sprint through the world of contemporary art and the occult. In an unnamed country, air heavy with the heat of imminent uprising, the decision to go running alone after dark sets in motion a chain of chances and choices that change everybody they touch. Cai, sculptor at an arts residency in an upscale resort, and his colleague Lisa, a local working as his aide, are drawn into a complex series of events in which myth rises in the shadow of politics and the bright lights of festive fireworks. Breakdown Press are excited to publish Ferry Gouw’s new comic Limbo, an exciting and compelling rumination on belonging, the hidden truth of folklore, and the insidious coiling of colonialism.

@apolocacho is a draughtsman. Details here from Gentrivacation. We’re very proud to have brought you this short work. “Apolo Cacho’s work is like seeing a new kind of music or tasting a complex visual experience. The richness is almost unimaginable” - @mattseneca Available from all good comix shops and from our online shop. Reach out if you’d like to stock or review the comic. 157 × 210mm — 36 pages — paperback Breakdown Press are excited to present a newcomic by Mexican artist Apolo Cacho - an explosive new work for our continuing end times. A group of friends, armoured by youth but numbed by the overload of the modern world, embark on a series of journeys, both outside and inside. From a depressed but hospitable dragon, to cities bustling with unearthly life, through ecological collapse and rebirth, through the eruptions of new religions and old devils, this restless, unsettling comic brims with startling and unforgettable imagery. The electric sizzle of today rises with the heat haze of the past. The landscape rises up to swallow ruins, while the city looks on. The sun climbs higher in an unforgiving sky. Apolo Cacho’s searing art and vibrant, energetic line make Gentrivacation one of the essential comics of 2025. A timely exploration of the tension between the past and the present, technology and nature, the body and the spirit. Gentrivaction is a virtuosic fable for tomorrow, and a wild ride that will embed itself into the reader’s imagination . . . #gentrivication #apolocacho #breakdownpress #comics

New printing! 190 x 265mm — 144 pages — offset printed — softcover — ISBN 978-0-9574381-6-3 Gardens of Glass is a retrospective collection of comics by Lando of @decadencecomics , bringing together the very best of his short works produced over the last five years for Decadence Comics, the influential publishing collective he co-founded with Stathis Tsemberlidis. Blending Ballardian contemplation of the near future with the aesthetics of early European sci-fi comics, Lando’s incredibly meticulous, impossibly fine pen line describes the deserted world that follows the Anthropocene epoch, where warfare, class division and ecological collapse dominate the landscape. Gardens of Glass contains the stories “Olympic Games”, “Last Drink”, “H.A.A.R.P.”, “Pyramid Scheme”, “Flood Tablet” and “The Marble Man”. Published in collaboration with @goshcomics to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Gardens of Glass was printed by offset lithography at DeckersSnoeck in Belgium. Design and print supervision by @joehalesstudio Available from all good comics shops, Gosh!
