Chris Doherty writes: You can now buy the first half of my book Video Nasties in a tidier digital format over here.  You should really grab a copy if you’re in the least bit curious, because I’ve made it as cheap as possible - and I just want you to read it. That’s the bottom line. If you haven’t read Chris’s Video Nasties yet, this is your best opportunity. Video Nasties is hands down the most accessible and compelling indy comic series to come out of the UK since I don’t know when. A lot of indy creators and publishers create wonderful projects - and I love them all - but some are idiosyncratic and self-contained, some are high end art objects and some are stapled photocopies; what Chris has created in Video Nasties is a compelling long-form narrative (mainstream in the best sense of the word) which stands with anything the larger publishers can offer. One of my concerns in writing The Whale House is to give Chris as much of a story to illustrate as he’s created in Video Nasties. I’m guaranteeing you that this is money (£2.50 for four e-issues!) very well spent. Andrew Cheverton.

Video Nasties Collected

“After sitting in gestation for a while, the complete Video Nasties is now available from Lulu! …you can buy your physical copy for £10 (plus p&p) or Ebook for £5 right here.”

Chris Doherty’s Video Nasties was the first British small/independent press comic I picked up that felt like it was a mainstream comic. Not the mainstream of superheroes, but something other than the esoteric and whimsical, or the autobio/diary comic - something that would have universal appeal, which - with the best will in the world - much of the weird and wonderful small press lacks. Video Nasties is a slow-burning and involving drama, and the book collects all seven issues - £10 for 218 pages - and is the best money you’ll spend on British comics.
