Dark & Golden Books are dedicated to charting a less travelled course through the history of British comics, finding and celebrating mislaid and forgotten classics. https://darkandgolden.bigcartel.com/
TOMORROW! The signing of the summer is here! Our @2000ad.bsky.social Mega Signing with Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons and Mick McMahon kicks off at 2pm! We can hardly wait. Gerry Finley-Day is no longer able to attend the signing. We apologise for any inconvenience and for any fans excited to meet him.
Our first zine of UK comic ephemera collects together some of the most historic and attractive of the price stickers that UK comic shops have used over the last 50 years. Both a valuable record of how comics have been sold, and a potent nostalgia bomb. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
Early Gigs collects the underground comics work of @davegibbons90.bsky.social for the very first time - out of print since their first publication, get your hands on this vital, vibrant work now! darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
2x Brett Ewins and Peter Milligan collects two stories by one of the great UK comics duos for the first time. Rooney's Lay shows the space age and sleaze colliding in newly wild ways, while in the disquieting In The Penal Colony, they unforgettably adapt Kafka's story. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
The cartoons of Kevin Woodcock are an unnerving trip to a place that is just not quite right. In these glimpses of unease the funny bone is always exposed and the widest grin belongs to a skull. Discover one of the most distinctive voices in British cartooning. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
Simon Harrison's Shuk & Doode chronicles the wild misadventures of two demons who have escaped from hell, plus urban satanism, cat burglary and many other moments from the night life of a big city. They grin! They leer! They stole my popcorn! Originally published in C&VG. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
I'll Be Glad When Today Is Over is a new selection of the work of Kevin Woodcock - spend a day in his world as a series of calamities unfold about you. Sudden octopi and horrifying zoos, bleak tropical islands and unwelcoming living rooms; all indelible and hilarious. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
The Dead Are Awake and Walking is the very first professional comics work by @davegibbons90.bsky.social, originally published in 1971 in Pocket Chiller Library. A story of creeping dread, of the uncanny and of betrayal, it heralded the debut of a major comics talent. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
Another Way Out collects 3 new comics by Carol Swain. The landscapes are wreathed with ghosts, and the spaces between words spill over with unsaid secrets. Elusive and intriguing, these stories are never quite what you expect, but always a truth you have known all along. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
Signs of the Times is a collection of three satirical series from the wild world of Kevin Woodcock! A timeless collection of jet-black comics that you won't be able to stop thinking about. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
2 x Carol Swain is a perfect intro to the elusive, intriguing work of Carol Swain. A road trip reveals troubling truths, and the spectre of war hangs uneasily over a small town. With new introductions and an interview with the artist. Available to order here: darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
2 x Chris Reynolds is a collection of Space Food, from 1990, where sci-fi and kitchen sink collide in an uneasy fashion, and 2005's The Animals' War, where time travel proves to be less of a blessing than first thought, and the landscapes are littered with dark warnings. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com
