Grey Area: Our Town

by Tim Bird

Overview

Memories from childhood. Relationships with those we love. The environment that we experience. The time and place within which we exist.

These aspects of our lives are questioned and interrogated — memories and places change, whilst we are shaped by our connections with those close to us, as well as the landscapes we inhabit.

With vibrant artwork, Tim Bird tells the story of the town all around us.

Editorial Reviews

Our Town cements Bird’s place as one of UK comics’ most subtle and nuanced storytellers.
This latest offering sees a structural shift to a more narrative-based comic but with the same tonal emphasis on the links between environment, memory and the lives that link the two. It’s powerful yet delicate in construction and further evidence of both Bird and Avery Hill’s place at the forefront of the new wave of British comics.” - Broken Frontier
