Avery Hill Publishing are delighted to present Grey Area Issue 2, by artist and writer Tim Bird.

“Much has been written of travel, far less of the road.” – Edward Thomas, The Icknield Way

Titled ‘The Old Straight Track’, Grey Area Issue 2 is a tribute to the Great British Motorway System. A narrative created by constantly moving across tarmac. A biography on roads. A spiritual journey through the sacred service stations of the country. A meditation of traffic jams.

Following on from the best-selling Grey Area Issue 1 (although unrelated narratively), Tim’s second issue further establishes a unique voice and vision in British comics, as he explores the mysterious connection between electricity pylons and standing stones. Lines painted on roads. Roads drawn on maps.

Grey Area Issue 2 is printed in A4 size, and consists of 28 black and white pages, with a silver Cairn Board cover.  You can get it HERE.
