Description

Two 11x17 sequential pages from Grant Morrison, Phillip Bond, and Disraeli's 1995 Vertigo one-shot, Kill Your Boyfriend.

I ate up almost everything Vertigo in the mid-90s and a big part of that was writers like Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, and Grant Morrison. I�ve always gravitated to Morrison more than the other two writers, largely because of the off-kilter one-off projects he wrote when he wasn�t concentrating on the Invisibles and other DC books.

Kill Your Boyfriend was one of those projects. It�s one of those books that defies simple description but attitude, anarchy, and art are good keywords to start with.

Philip Bond also has a lot to do with me reading and re-reading this book over the years. I gravitate to cartoonists who can move between cartoonish-ness and realism and Bond definitely fits in that category. Needless to say, I loved his art as much as I loved Morrison�s story so I�m thrilled to add this two-page sequence from the book to my collection.

If you need a plot synopsis for KYB, the one on Wikipedia will do as good as any:

�The story is a darkly comic satire of British youth culture which revolves around a bookish middle class schoolgirl, who has a bland unexciting life until she meets a strange young boy who convinces her to kill her boyfriend. They then go on the run together for a series of anarchic adventures across Britain. Meeting up with a group of travellers in a double-decker bus, the pair indulge in more crime and sexual experimentation before making their way to Blackpool to meet their final fate.�

I relly liked Bond's art if only for the fact that he obviously had been looking at a lot of (too much?) Pearson :)

I don't see Pearson as much as Jamie Hewlett but I'll probably take a look at your Pearson gallery to see if I can make the connection!

I really do like the art, and wow, I just noticed this id from almost 30 years ago! I thought it was something that came out recently!

Wow! Congrats on the pickup! I haven't read this in a quarter of a century, but I do remember it as a standout. I need to reread it.
