WORRY DOLL!

Bulletin:

Woohoo! Bulletins! :)

So, here's my first - and it's important!

We're very excited to send you this link to the article which appears in the Daily Telegraph today:

Excerpt:"Coyle's work is groundbreaking. The imagery in Worry Doll is so far ahead of anything out there in terms of visual sophistication that it suggests a new way forward for the genre – maybe a new genre altogether. "In a perfect world of graphic novel publishing, I'd publish these images without any words," Coyle says.
The text, which he wrote only after all the images were complete, is mostly dialogue. At times it reads like a dialogue between a patient and a therapist; at other times it might be two accomplices. Sometimes the dialogue refers to the page alongside it, sometimes it does not.
"It sounds confusing, and it is," says Coyle. "I wanted it to be a challenging read. Like the pleasure in not-knowing in David Lynch's films, much of the pleasure lies in the confusion of the images, and being in a strange, nightmarish world. But I can assure you that the book has a clear logic, and follows the clue-puzzle format of the detective story.
"Eventually," he says, "the whole thing does make sense if you want it to."
