Synopsis

Comic Book Slumber Party is back! This Ignatz-nominated cult feminist collective went out of this world last time with Deep Space Canine... this time it's a dangerous quest for treasure!

Comic Book Slumber Party is an international girl gang of comic creators who burst on to the scene with 2015's psychedelic Hotel World, followed up with Greasy's Guide to Nookie and Fairytales for Bad B!tches. Originally a micro-publisher, the collective was picked up by Avery Hill for 2017's Deep Space Canine. Formed to promote the work of women comic makers and to showcase the work of newer voices, the collective has garnered wide acclaim for their unashamedly rebellious lead character – a bad canine named Greasy – dark humour and vibrant tones.

Now, Comic Book Slumber Party and Greasy are compellingly hilarious as ever. Far famed for its cruel Warlock overlord, Bitch Mountain is the deadliest destination on any adventurer's map. But with its rumoured riches and guaranteed bragging rights, it's a quest that Greasy can't refuse... even if it forces her to face the hangover from hell and, her most dire peril yet, the Friend Zone! Can she fight her way out of the depths with her treasure (and her dignity) intact?

About this title

Review:

Praise for Comic Book Slumber Party's Deep Space Canine:

"Comic Book Slumber Party's series of anthologies – featuring their signature mascot character Greasy – have been a (semi) annual treat, bringing together a diverse array of international women artists with often wildly different approaches to comics storytelling. With Deep Space Canine they are back in all their fabulous, uncompromising, in-yer-face glory!" --Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

"If we had to sum Deep Space Canine up in lazy journo cliches it would be that it feels like a mix of Tank Girl and Lumberjanes, but in space, and told with a generous dose of underground comix sensibilities. But perhaps a better description is that it feels like a book put together by a bunch of friends having a great time." --Alex Thomas, Pipedream Comics

"The art is superb. The storytelling is great fun, and it makes a refreshing change to see a sci fi comic where the only characters are female and truly bad*ss." --Pete Redrup, The Quietus

"Fantastic... I can only imagine how much fun the ladies had putting this together, and it's the sort of comic project I would love to see happen a lot more. It's a brilliant showcase for their unique talents, and a thoroughly rip-roaring entertaining read." --Read It Daddy
