Pow Pow Press come to the UK

Pow Pow Press are very cool, creator-driven work, in a huge range of styles and tones, all with a strong indie vibe that showcases why Montréal is bar-none one of the best comics scenes in the world.

Their first three titles are all scheduled to drop in October, with more titles following every month thereafter. 

Lonely Boys

What can be done about the friendships that are bound to break your heart?

After a year of radio silence, Ella bursts back into the lives of her former roommates, Jen and Lucie. Her intentions seem simple enough: she wants to mend fences and regain their trust. But it won’t be that easy. LONELY BOYS is a story of friendship, sisterhood and self-affirmation. It captures life at twenty-something as three young women navigate the challenges of work, sex and romantic relationships, all the while trying to hold on to the connection they share despite the hurt it carries.

Set in the heart of Trois-Rivières’ world-famous (and perfectly fictitious) Hawaiian district, The Pineapples of Wrath follows amateur detective Marie-Plum as she investigates the suspicious death of her next-door neighbour.

While the local police believe the former limbo champion was the victim of a fatal piña colada overdose, Marie-Plum is convinced there’s more to the case than meets the eye. A funny, loving tribute to tiki kitsch and old Agatha Christie novels.

He’s friendly. He’s responsible. He can even be funny… Sometimes. But Gary is no Casanova. He could be your co-worker. He could be your neighbor. But could he be your boyfriend? In order for that to happen, he’d have to ask you out—but that’s not going to happen any time soon. Because Gary isn’t the kind of guy who asks you out. He’s the kind of guy who sort of thinks that, maybe, he could possibly think about asking you out… eventually. All that, however, is about to change. Maybe. 

GARY: KING OF THE PICKUP ARTISTS is a refreshingly honest romantic comedy, charming and cringe-worthy in equal measure!
