Grey Area - Our Town

Tim Bird is a writer and artist based in South London, UK. He makes comics and drawings that mainly reflect on our environment, and our place within it. His series, Grey Area, is published by Avery Hill Publishing, and won the British Comic Award for Best Comic in 2015. He is a regular contributor to Reads (also from Avery Hill Publishing), OFF LIFE, and The Brixton Bugle.

“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
