What Awaits Them Launch Party With Liam Cobb

To celebrate their newest title from Liam Cobb, Breakdown Press are having a party! What Awaits Them will be launched here at Gosh! on Wednesday 8th November 2023, from 7-9pm, where Liam will be in the shop and available to sign copies of all his titles.

Prepare to get lost in the vibrant tropical jungles and jaw-dropping landscapes of Liam Cobb's anthology, What Awaits Them, collecting various short-form comics from across Cobb's illustrious career. Here are some words from Breakdown Press about it:

Bringing together the previous Breakdown Press releases “The Inspector” and “The Fever Closing”, this new anthology includes strips and stories from every part of Cobb’s career. Readers will be transported to exotic luxury islands, the darkest rainforests, snow-swept frontiers and a bizarrely run Michelin-starred restaurant, and will discover the unique mix of lush extravagance and bleak realities that his comics bring to the form.

Cobb’s comics reflect the relative loneliness of contemporary life with gleaming, monolithic architecture. Metaphysical love blossoms in the dank humidity of the jungle in a whirlwind of melancholy and mundanity. His clean, unmistakable lines razor the page through rich colour, transporting the reader to a clinical oasis, a gleaming utopia laced with irony and sweat.

With these stories, Cobb invites you to submerge yourselves in his uncanny waters and discover, once and for all, What Awaits Them...

The launch party for Liam's new book is on Wednesday 8th November. Join us from 7pm to have it signed and celebrate the release with a few drinks. You can also pre-order a signed copy of What Awaits Them by clicking here (also accompanied by an exclusive Gosh! bookplate).
