Sunburn
“The spare dialogue flows naturally, propelling the story forward. The luminous, evocative artwork steals the show with its palette of blues and sandy browns accentuated with occasional pops of red and yellow. This is a contemplative study of a girl battered and disillusioned by her first glimpses of adult complexities. Atmospheric and nostalgic.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Watson (Breakfast After Noon) and Gane (Ghost Tree) whisk readers away to a sunny Greek fantasy island in this romantic character-focused graphic novel… Gane’s lush illustrations, portrayed in bright oceanic hues, earthy browns, and red accents, artfully render intricately detailed Grecian backdrops and conventionally attractive characters frolicking in the ocean. Watson conveys understated emotion via layered dialogue and measured pacing paired with deliberate plotting in this quiet, sun-drenched drama.” — Publishers Weekly
Kerry and the Knight of the Forest
“A timeless and immersive fantasy.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review

Princess Decomposia and Count Spatula
“With an amusing (and occasionally decomposing) cast of floating skulls, eyeballs- on-skeleton-legs, and more, it’s a comic that will charm younger readers and adults alike.” — Pubishers Weekly
Paris
Paris is certainly a lovely understated tribute to art, misjudged soul-mates, and one of the most popular cities on Earth. –– Stephanie Kay, Comixfan
When reading Paris, one’s head swims as if we ourselves were Andi Watson’s love-drunk heroine. His scripts make our knees weak, but Simon Gane’s art catches us as we crumble, completing the seduction with casual grace. — Jamie S. Rich, author of The Everlarsting and Have You Seen the Horizon Lately?
