Around The Block.
Created by Prolix.
16 pages - Black and White - Published by Nick Prolix Comix.
‘.... a miscellany of mini-comics, comic strips, works-in-progress and other assorted addenda to the world of The Sheep and the Wolves!’
That cover almost looks like it’s drawn on an old school brown paper bag. The sort of one that you used to get when you bought something in Soho (or so I am told...) Trust me, you are in for a treat with this new zine.
Nick Prolix, my creative brother from another mother, is back. He’s a prolific bastard and will not only have issue 3 of the Awesome Comics anthology out with us at the Awesome Comics Podcast table at Nottingham Comic Con but also a new zine called Around The Block.
This is a collection of short gag strips (and more) that make for a great little taster of Nick’s style. They’ll take our presupposed attitudes to comic book mice, television 1960s witches, sappy soldiers, unhappy vikings and more and give them a Prolix twist. Along with that we get the appearance of a handful of returnees. Some characters from his Slang Pictorial series are seen going about their quirky daily business as well as certain red headed ass kicker (still my favourite punch to the face moment in comics!)
All of these stories have Nick’s characteristic refined clean line style that is always a total pleasure to read or just sit and marvel at. I know he’s a pal but this guy is genuinely next level good.
Anything by this hepcat is worth your coin.
This will be getting a release at Nottingham Comic Con on the 20th of October.
You can also head over to get this and other examples of Nick’s work at http://www.thesheepandthewolves.com/ and why not follow this comics rascal on Twitter @nickprolix
Many thanks for reading and see you at Nottingham!
