Vince Morley is a man with big problems and a brain tumour like a baby’s fist, living with one foot in a monstrous alternate world he calls Cancertown. When the lost and dispossessed of London start tripping over the same cracks in reality he spends his life avoiding, Morley realises he must confront the residents of Cancertown – and risk finding his place among them.

Cover by Paul Cartwright.

Foreword by Bryan Talbot

From The Foreword

“We’re seeing here the first outing of creators who will make their mark on the future comic industry.
Cancertown will disorientate you, suck you in, chew you up and spit you out and you might well be in need of a change of underwear by the end.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Bryan Talbot

Reviews

“I described to someone asking me what it was about as a “rip-roaring mindf***”.

The overall feel of the book is distinctly unsettling but rivetting — a graphic novel you’ll find yourself wanting to read in one sitting

John Freeman, Down The Tubes

“The book grabs you by the throat right from the start and drags you kicking and screaming into the vividly twisted world of Cancertown…what we have here is a well crafted, fantastical story that demonstartes what a comic book should be. I for one can’t wait to read more tales form Cancertown.”

The Sidekick

“The short review is I bloody loved this graphic novel.

It was a complex, dark and twisted fantasy with a heavy noir feel to it…Think Maltese Falcon crossed with Criminal Macabre and a dash of Alice in Wonderland, trippy as hell (god knows what sort of dreams I’m going tonight!)…Seriously though pick this up as it’s one hell of a read”
