The best strips (so far) from the best new cartoonist (maybe).
Stephen Collins is a cartoonist and illustrator. His first book, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, was published by Cape in 2013. Praised by the likes of Raymond Briggs and described as 'a future classic' by the Observer, it became the first graphic novel to be shortlisted for Waterstone's Book of the Year and won the Edinburgh Festival's inaugural 9th Art Award. Stephen previously won the Jonathan Cape/Observer Graphic Short Story Prize. His work has appeared in many publications worldwide, and he contributes regular comics to the Guardian Weekend and Prospect magazine. He lives near Hertford with his wife and son.

The outstanding title this year is Stephen Collins’s Some Comics…
Collins is a young man already equipped with the mordant gloom and
brutal cynicism of the career cartoonist, and this is a fine first
collection.
