The Lost Boy
(Serialised from Issue #1 to Issue #?, Jan '12) An all-ages adventure and mystery strip serialised in The Phoenix, which, if you're familiar with The DFC, is very much the same quality (if not better!) Click here to check out The Phoenix and see how you can get hold of it too!

Nelson
(Paperback/hardback November '11) Edited by Rob Davis and Woodrow Phoenix, Nelson is the anthology to end all anthologies. Made like an exquisite corpse, this book tells the story of Nel Baker from her birth in 1968, up to present day. Each year is written and drawn by a different UK artist, and as such forms not only a constantly evolving and organic storyline, but also serves as an unique look at the current UK comics creator scene. I made year 1992 and was very happy to be a part of this project. Published by Blank Slate, profits from the initial print-run went to the UK Charity Shelter.

Fish + Chocolate
(Paperback March '11, Hardback Sept '11) Aimed at a mature audience, the creation of Fish + Chocolate was kindly supported by funding from the 2010 Arts Foundation Fellowship for Graphic Novels. The book was originally self-published as a paperback edition with a run of 300 copies.

Fish + Chocolate is now being published by SelfMadeHero as a hardback edition, at a slightly larger size than the original paperback. It is widely available either online through SMH's shop, or Amazon.co.uk, along with many other book-selling sites, book shops and comic shops. Your local shop should be able to order it in for you if they don't have it already in-stock.

    "This trilogy... confirms Brown as a provocative and profound allegorist finding her mature voice and in total control of her precise compositions, colouring and narrative."
