The Storytellers By Rob Jackson Okay, maybe you know Rob Jackson’s work already, as we’ve mentioned and reviewed it often enough here, enjoying pretty much each and every new release. His work encompasses so many different subjects; from autobiographical tales of Jackson’s ice-cream business, the comedy of errors at Goblin Hall, the fantasy of Flying Leaf [...]

California Part 2 By Rob Jackson The second part of Jackson’s very low-key, brooding horror tale. Issue 1 was reviewed here. Creeping dread. Oh, that so covers what Jackson’s pulled off here. Or at least it does up to a point. Bear with me, I’ll get there. Issue 1 saw a family hit hard times, move [...]

The first rule of the Best Cover EVER?? There is no Best Cover EVER?. That’s the fun bit. Means we can choose what the heck we like, and then change out minds the day after.

(Richard here – Matt came to us a while ago, and whilst mentioning his enjoyment of Rob Jackson’s ice-creams at the recent Prestwich Food Festival, wondered if we fancied a review. And yes, not comics, not really, although Rob’s brilliant Ice-Cream comics have been reviewed here and here, and that’s where we’re taking the images from. And seriously, [...]

California Part 1 By Rob Jackson Right, here’s the other of Rob Jackson’s latest releases. I reviewed Segway a while back, and enthused about the uniqueness of Jackson’s work over there. Suffice it to say I usually enjoy what he does, enjoy the grand variety of topics he plays around with, along with the great [...]

Reviews: Segway – new from Rob Jackson

Segway By Rob Jackson Over the few years I’ve been looking at Rob Jackson’s work I’ve read adventures of Flying Leaf Creatures, malevolent Gods gone wild, surreal psychological horrors, a positively Shakespearean comedy of errors with Goblins, read two volumes of his anthology Gin Palace and one all about pasties, and even followed Jackson’s adventures in the [...]
