We’re extremely excited about Anxietyland by Gemma Correll (@gemmacorrell )! A heartfelt journey through Gemma’s struggles with mental health that is full of uproarious humour. To celebrate, we’re hosting a signing with Gemma on Thursday 4th June 2026, from 6-7pm. Here’s what publisher Particular Books (@particularbooks ) say about it: Come and join us in the magical world of Anxietyland, a theme park like no other. Here, there’s so much to see and do: revel in the ups and downs of the Hormonal Rollercoaster, feel the twists and turns of the Overcaffeinated Teacups, and take a scenic ride on the Train of Overthinking to Comorbid Park. There’s no better place for making new friends such as our fun mascot Scaredy Cat, enjoying world-class entertainment, from the Parade of the Therapists to the Well-Meaning Advice Jamboree, and making memories that you’ll never forget - even if you want to! In Anxietyland cartoonist, writer, and long-time-anxious-person, Gemma Correll takes us on a riotous journey through her struggles with anxiety, to the desperate search for relief and finally to the realization that it really is possible to feel OK again. Because sometimes all that’s left to do when you’ve tried every possible remedy you can imagine is laugh. Meet Gemma and grab a signed copy of the book on Thursday 4th June, from 6pm. You can order a signed copy of the book by clicking the link in our bio. @penguinukbooks have been kind enough to provide some gorgeous sticker sheets to accompany the book too! . . . #comics #anxietyland #gemmacorrell #particularbooks #goshcomics

As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, we’re publishing a series of sketchbooks with some of our favourite artists, those who have an important history to the shop and with some knockout artwork that we want to showcase. Our first sketchbook, BLEED INK, was made in conjunction with someone who satisfies all of the above, the incredible artist CROM (@crom.ink ), the artist behind one of our top selling comics, Birdking! It’s been an absolute delight working with CROM on this and we couldn’t be happier with how the sketchbook looks! It’s always fun to flip through someone’s skecthbook providing fantastic insight into their drawing processes and what inspires them. We can’t wait to share it with you! We’ll be hosting a launch party with CROM to celebrate its release on Thursday 11th June 2026, from 7-9pm. CROM will be alongside the talented Ferry Gouw (@ferry_gouw ), who will be launching his new Breakdown Press (@breakdownpress ) book, Limbo, which you can find out more about by clicking the link here. Meet CROM and Ferry on Thursday 11th June, from 7pm. Pre-order a signed copy of BLEED INK by clicking the link in our bio. . . . #comics #bleedink #crom #gosh40 #goshcomics

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.

Here’s what publisher Scallywag Press (@scallywagpress ) say about the new picture book, Fred the (Very Demanding) Deer: In this unique and hilarious picture book, Fred the Deer throws a series of tantrums with his illustrator, and ends up getting most of what he wants! Fred the deer loves living in the forest. Or does he? No, he says he does not! He is bored, and wants to visit the town! Once there, he sees everyone else has shoes - so why can’t he have shoes? Everyone else seems to be eating chips, but he needs hands to eat chips... really, Fred? Read on to see if Pepe will give in and give him hands, and how the story will end up!

We’re delighted to welcome Eliza Fricker (@elizafricker_missingthemark ) to the shop to celebrate the release of their new graphic memoir, Could Try Harder: An illustrated journey through an undiagnosed autistic adolescence. We’ll be hosting a launch party with Eliza on Thursday 14th May 2026, from 7-9pm. Here’s what the publisher say about the book: You just need to stay calm. You should be able to manage. You should have grown out of that by now. You could try harder. Eliza Fricker spent her adolescence being told all of these things, until her autism diagnosis as an adult revealed why she may not have met the expectations of others so easily. Equally, the world didn’t seem to live up to the expectations she had of it. Following on from her earlier book Thumbsucker, this graphic memoir narrates the complexities of Eliza’s teenage years through to the beginnings of adult relationships; exploring the key stages of life from secondary school to college and then work. It was only as an adult that Eliza heard autism being talked about and wondered about getting diagnosed. She met others who identified as neurodivergent. They shared similar stories and struggles, and so, with her own eventual diagnosis, she started to process her experiences and write about it. And while diagnosis doesn’t bring all the answers, it has allowed her to look back on her younger self with a bit more understanding and compassion - something she now wishes for others. As more young people explore their neurodivergence, this book will encourage readers to take an empathetic look back at their experiences and honour the identity they have created for themselves, in response to their problematic experiences. Eliza will be here for the launch party of Could Try Harder on Thursday 14th May, from 7pm.
