Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "The Hard Switch boasts one of the coolest sci-fi concepts I've ever heard, and then absolutely delivers on it. @odpomery.bsky.social's art serves his complicated universe perfectly. Stunning." - @igotkittypryde.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2hfhhc6c

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “I really loved Quiet Thoughts by @karenshangguan.bsky.social. I love how delicate the work is - how ideas are left incomplete so the reader can enjoy the quiet moments between the drawings and the text.” - @tim-bird.bsky.social tinyurl.com/33sm85n9

Thrilled to see @donyatodd.bsky.social's The Witch's Egg named as a best Graphic Novel of 2025 by the Guardian! "With its toads, worms and dark corners, this wild yarn of motherhood, danger and defiance reads like The Egyptian Book of the Dead crossed with a ripe compost heap" tinyurl.com/2m2e7x9a

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "What We Don't Talk About by @zolwia.bsky.social. What stuck with me most was this encroaching mundane horror of prejudice that feels almost gothic. An enjoyable, appropriately uncomfortable read.” - @bmure.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4hht22xk

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d... Featuring The Witch’s Egg by @donyatodd.bsky.social!!!! “With its toads, worms and dark corners, this wild yarn of motherhood, danger and defiance reads like The Egyptian Book of the Dead crossed with a ripe compost heap.” We’ll take it. Thanks!

What a wonderful world for children’s comics right now. So many great new titles coming out I couldn’t fit all of February’s releases into one screenshot. A few years ago an article like this would have been absolutely unimaginable! 🤩💖

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "The Great North Wood by @tim-bird.bsky.social is a beautiful mix of history, myth, and thought.... a tapestry of folklore, fact and memory." - @odpomery.bsky.social (The Hard Switch, Victory Point) tinyurl.com/4ca2vabc

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "I'm still blown away by Simon Moreton's confident and minimalistic line work in his collected comics, Days. Gentle and sometimes abstract autobiographical work." - @julesscheele.bsky.social averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com/product/days...

As someone who is always reading/often deferring to book store staff recommendations, this is amazing to me! Thanks so much for this one @stanfordsbristol.bsky.social!

Huge thanks to @stanfordsbristol.bsky.social for highlighting AHP books! Second Shift by @igotkittypryde.bsky.social is a Staff Pick, too!

Friday’s #GoshBFDD was my last big comics event of the year. 2025 was the first time post-pandemic I felt really back in the events groove. Panels, interviews, gallery tours and socials. Good times! @averyhill.bsky.social @sxbond.bsky.social @captioncomicfest.bsky.social @goshcomics.bsky.social

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "Sour Pickles is so funny and smart, at times tragic, and deeply charming throughout -- I became an immediate fan of @clioisadora.bsky.social when I picked this one up." - @igotkittypryde.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2sa722ba

Guys…this is good…

Come and join me on a tour of this years Thought Bubble Festival and take a look at ‘SOME’ of the goodies I picked up 😃 @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social @averyhill.bsky.social @brokenfrontier.bsky.social #comics THOUGHT BUBBLE - Exploring The Coolest Indie Comic Con Ever! youtu.be/7gkXIR_P0U0

This was one of my favorite reads this year.

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! 

 “Barking by @lucysullivan.bsky.social. The way Lucy depicts the themes of grief and mental health crisis is visually unlike anything I’ve seen before in comics— haunting and unforgettable.” - @eoosterhous.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3f5es4z9

Next year I will be releasing my first full length graphic novel with @averyhill.bsky.social Oracles is a graphic novel about grief and self discovery. Here is the pre/ launch kickstarter if you’d like to support the project and get notifications! ✨ www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “The Witch’s Egg by @donyatodd.bsky.social came zooming in on a broomstick today and I’ve started reading the hell out of this luscious and magical tome. So should you.” - @acmedarryl.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2m2e7x9a

I’m very excited to see people at MICE!

On 6th-7th December the amazing @bmure.bsky.social will be a guest at @massmice.bsky.social! Find him at table 66b, and don't miss the fantastic panel he's on: 'How I Learned to Draw Like Myself' - led my @raulthethird.bsky.social!

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “Breakwater by @katrionachapman.bsky.social. There's a real sense of quietness and space… her characters inhabit a place that's familiar, but somehow more peaceful & less populated than the world I live in.” - @avpotts.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yc338fun

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "Internet Crusader by George Wylesol is right up my alley. The way it divulges the story in screenshots, almost epistolary, is so fun to explore. It feels like old-web archeology." - @toumeya.bsky.social, The Corus Wave tinyurl.com/48xknwfu

Looking for a gift for a Sci-fi or Fantasy fan?! New York Public Library recommends Second Shift by @igotkittypryde.bsky.social and The Witch's Egg by @donyatodd.bsky.social as among the best new comics of the year!

Thinking this is probably unbeatable. All of these look fantastic.

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “One of my favourites is What We Don't Talk About by @zolwia.bsky.social: I think its nuanced depiction of racism and microaggressions - specifically in a British context, is so so important.” - drolliehicks.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4hht22xk

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "Adrift on a Painted Sea by @tim-bird.bsky.social. Such a cool concept and the painting/drawing feels so natural when it overlaps. You can see subtle connections and influences between Sue's and Tim's work." - George Wylesol (2120) tinyurl.com/kkak43th

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "Who Killed Nessie? is a great mashup of unexpected genres that has an engaging take on a well-worn trope with fun, lively, and colorful characters that is well paced and well constructed." - @pidgecomics.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2326v4kk

Who Killed Nessie was SO MUCH FUN! Cryptids have a lot of feelings and I’m in full support! Also enjoyed the very chill Baba Yaga depiction :> Art: @rachaelsmith.bsky.social | Pub: @averyhill.bsky.social

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “Days by Simon Moreton conveys so much with just the thinnest of lines and the most artful of squiggles. A beautiful and subtle piece of work.” - Patrick Wray, 'The Flood That Did Come' averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com/product/days...

Excellent post from one of my favourite publishers, @bulgilhanpress.com!

Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! "I picked up Big Ugly for its production and art... and then I got blown away by how good the writing was. This book is special--it's nuanced, beautiful, and real." - @igotkittypryde.bsky.social averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com/category/ell...

After my panel I hopped onto a train to Harrogate, which proved to be the Comics Train, full of comics people. That evening I visited the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition at the Mercer Gallery, which I’ve already enthused about on here. Suffice to say it’s excellent and you should go.

2025 Gift Recommendations! For fantasy readers: The Witch's Egg by @donyatodd.bsky.social “Superb - I cannot applaud Todd enough for her amazing artistry. This book is truly a feast for the eyes while also inspiring deep thought.” - The Newest Rant tinyurl.com/2m2e7x9a #comics #bookgifts

I edited this video for the Avery Hill exhibition and I’m really proud of it! Watch it now on YouTube! 🎬

managed to sneak away from my table to see the tour of the fantastic @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition led by @andywpoliver.bsky.social ✨ so cool to see the originals & process behind these comics !

This was a great show. Wonderful to see @averyhill.bsky.social's work showcased in this way.

So that was an amazing @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Finding new artists, seeing #BF6toWatch stars, leading the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition tour, and just hanging out. Sublime! (Tour photo by @pigeonface.bsky.social.) Also I guide tours now. Tour-guiding is cool.

On the train to Thought Bubble! Maybe see you (yes, YOU) at the @averyhill.bsky.social Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery tonight? If not, hopefully see you at table C36 in Comixology Hall 🖤
