	THE PILLBOX
	Jul	Hughes, David	9780224098397	HB	16.99
	On holiday in Suffolk, a boy and his dog discover a World War II pillbox half buried on a deserted beach. When he returns the next day with his parents, the pillbox has disappeared. They learn a pillbox had been there and a boy had once been found in it, dead…
	1945, another boy, another dog, the same pillbox … and an American serviceman from the local base. Murder, treachery, a terrible secret…
	David Hughes’ second graphic novel is a haunting ghost story – dark, disturbing and – as always with Hughes – stunningly drawn.

	THE BIND
	Aug	Goldsmith, William	9780224097024	HB	20.00
	The Bind charts the rise and fall of Egret Bindings, once the most prestigious firm of bookbinders in London.
	In 1910 brothers Guy and Victor Egret take on an ambitious commission: a deluxe, jewelled binding of a collection of poems, A Moonless Land. It proves to be a moment of hubris. The work triggers their ruin, watched by the disapproving spirit of their father, Garrison Egret.
	A darkly humorous tale of sibling rivalry and creative one-upmanship, The Bind shows once again that William Goldsmith is an incomparable storyteller and a marvellously inventive artist.

	EVERYTHING IS TEETH
	Aug	Wyld, Evie & Sumner, Joe	9780224099714	HB	16.99
	Evie Wyld was a girl obsessed with sharks. Spending summers in the brutal heat of coastal New South Wales, she fell for the creatures. Their teeth, their skin, their eyes; their hunters and their victims.
	Everything is Teeth is a delicate and intimate collection of the memories she brought home to England, a book about family, love and the irresistible forces that pass through life unseen, under the surface, ready to emerge at any point.

	STEP ASIDE, POPS
	Sep	Beaton, Kate	9781910702222	TPB	12.99
	Wonder Woman! Hunks! Great men and women of history! Step aside – Kate Beaton is coming for you.
	The author of the smash hit Hark! A Vagrant returns with all-new sidesplitting comics that showcase her irreverent love of history, pop culture and literature. Collected from her wildly popular website, readers will guffaw over ‘Strong Female Characters’, the wicked yet chivalrous Black Prince, ‘Straw Feminists in the Closet’ and a disgruntled Heathcliff. Delight in what the internet has long known – Beaton’s humour is as sharp and dangerous as a velocipedestrienne, so watch out!

	DISPOSSESSION
	Sep	Grennan, Simon	9780224102209	HB	17.99
	England, 1873. John Caldigate, a young gentleman, gets into debt gambling and decides to try his luck in the gold fields of New South Wales. On the outward journey, he promises to marry Mrs Smith, a divorced actress who is travelling in the same ship. Returning home a rich man, John marries Hester, the sweetheart he left behind. Soon, Mrs Smith also returns from Australia, penniless, and claims that she is already his wife.
	Inspired by Anthony Trollope’s 1879 novel John Caldigate, Dispossession embeds the reader in a uniquely wrought experience of the mid-nineteenth century, including the first ever appearance of the Aboriginal Wiradjuri language in a graphic novel.
	Taking unique advantage of the graphic form to conjure the material world of the Victorian era in a glittering waltz of intense colour and deep shadow, Dispossession is a virtuoso and intensely affecting graphic novel by a master visual storyteller.
