Aim: To publish the definitive collection of short, silly comics by me - David (Private Eye magazine, Time Out London, Charlie Hebdo & many more)
***Postage is included but I think some people throw an extra £1 or £ 2 to help cover it. Especially if overseas. Totally up to you, though. No issue.***
Finally!
At last!
It's coming!
A new re-collection of my comics work in one place!
Collecting 90+ pages of short comics that have appeared scattered all over the place. It will combine my 2 smaller short story books (from 2009 and 2012) plus - this is the big news - 20 new pages of work created for this book.
The older comics have been printed in magazines, zines, books & newspaper around the world & have been out of print for many years but I've decided to collect all the best stuff into one definitive collection.
I've always adored the zine aesthetic and I want to use it with this book. It's full of crazy energy with totally wild stories ranging from 1 to 14 pages in length.
Vintage collects older stories about Ping Pong, Vikings, Zen, belly button fluff, Mexican goat gods and more!
Please pre-order a copy of this book. It's totally mad. It's cheap too!
I will be working on the new comics and a bookplate over the next few months (between freelance and other book work) so my aim is to have the book printed by mid Oct 2025
The freshly made bookplate:
Praise for all my work (illustrated reportage, kids book, illustrated novel and comics):
‘Deceptively intelligent and exceptionally moreish.’ - Charlie Brooker
‘With his beautiful illustrations and incisive words, David is one of the most important cartoonists working today.’ - David Squires, Guardian cartoonist
‘It’s the gentle warmth of Greene’s approach that gives these stories their unexpected power; the understated humaneness of watching and listening and composing these snapshots of modern public political life.’ - Samira Ahmed, BBC Front Row
'Greene’s illustrations seep into the reader’s consciousness emotions of surprise, disappointment, confusion, ignorance, bewilderment, pain, starvation, triumph, hope, love and more.' - thekidsbookscurator.com
'David Greene's work is cleverly observed & executed' - Ian Hislop, Editor of Private Eye Magazine
'This is a gorgeously illustrated story about a criminal conspiracy that involves a bag of prunes, animal masks and a hole on a golf course. With minimal dialogue, it looks great and has a really funny turn to its ending. ' - downthetubes.net
Okay, that's enough. You must be convinced by now!
