Richard Bruton has compiled his Propaganda List: Best of 2010 over on Forbidden Planet International’s blog, picking his favourites from all of the many, many comics and graphic novels reviewed last year. Richard writes:

“Well, personally I thought 2010 was one of the best years for comics I’d seen for a long time. However, that did mean that, when it came to making a long-list of the good comics I’d read this year it was a very, very long list. Even pruning that master list down mercilessly I still had an incredible 20 titles to filter into some sort of best of year. And quite magnificently, a lot of them were UK comics.”

We’re pleased to note that this select list includes our West: Justice collection and both issues of West: Distance. Richard explains:

“A slight cheat here, as I’m picking all of Cheverton and Keable’s West series – the collection Justice and their 2 issue series Distance (issue 1, issue 2). Whether it’s more Cheverton’s ever so tight writing or Keable’s ever changing artwork that makes this so brilliant I really don’t know – but put them together and it’s quite magnificent.”

Our thanks again to Richard and all at the FPI Blog for their continuing and enthusiastic support of West. The entire Propaganda List can be read here, and all of our West books and comics are sold online through Big Cartel here.

Andrew Cheverton and Tim Keable will be in Birmingham, attending the Zine Fair on Saturday, September the 11th. The Fair - part of the ongoing Birmingham Zine Festival- takes place at The Victoria in Bright Street (Google map here) from 12 ‘til 6. Copies of the West: Justice book will be available on the communal exhibitor tables, along with issues of West: Distance and Synchrony Four.  

There’s a very pleasing review of our West: Justice collection by Richard Bruton over on the Forbidden Planet blog. I love getting good reviews, but I love perceptive ones better, and this a great review on both counts…

“I’m very, very impressed with West; the story is a good mix of classic Western and something more intriguing. Cheverton’s pacing and dialogue is almost spot on throughout and Keable’s artwork looks good, no matter what the style he uses.”

Check out the link for the whole thing. Also this week, writer Jason Cobley plugged the Justice book on his website. 

“I am mad about West: Justice by Andrew Cheverton and Tim Keable. West is a Western, moody, pacy, well-told. As you know, I did a Western for kids for The DFC which covered similar territory, entirely coincidentally. But that has nothing to do with why this is sooo good.”

Our thanks to both Richard and Jason. West: Justice is available from our Big Cartel storefront.
