Boy Island Launch Party With Leo Fox

After the massive success of My Body Unspooling, we're so excited to be able to invite Leo Fox back to the shop for another launch party! Join us on Friday 23rd August 2024, from 7-9pm, this time for Leo's newest comic from Silver Sprocket, Boy Island.

Leo's vibrant and expressive drawings take us on jounrey of acceptance navigating gender in a humourous and beautiful folkloric adventure. Here's what publisher Silver Sprocket say about the comic:

“Poor Lucille. You are in the elbow of your life, the place where it bends. What will you do?”

Your name is Lucille. You live on Girl Island, one of two islands created when the world was cleft in twain by an entity bigger and more powerful than you. But you have a secret. Your secret is that despite living on Girl Island, you are a boy. You fear deep down in your insides, that you may have been a boy for a very long time. And so you leave your home and your mother and begin the journey to Boy Island. Although it may be treacherous, it is the only way forward.

A modern transgender fable in graphic novel form, Boy Island weaves its way along the path of becoming with humor and insight, channeled through Leo Fox’s iconic art and storytelling style. Printed as a deluxe embossed hardcover.

Leo will be launching Boy Island on Friday 23rd August, from 7pm. You can pre-order a signed copy of the comic from us for mail-order or collection by clicking here.
