Montague Terrace

In Montague Terrace, nothing is quite what is seems. Within its boundaries live an array of strange and extraordinary residents, including Paul Gregory, self-exiled pop crooner holed up in his Montague hovel for close to forty years, with only fading memories of a semi-successful music career and a bottle of JD for company. Mrs Beatrice Green, codename Babushka, an aged former special ops agent fighting a new war against overzealous council officials. Marvo the Magic Bunny and Mystical Marvin, a pair of down-on-their luck entertainers, shielding a disturbing past. The Puppeteer, toiling away day and night, pulling the strings of world events and causing chaos out of order.

Landlocked sailors, fake pet psychics, hounded inventors and randy postmen. Welcome to Montague Terrace...

Reviews

  • This is the kind of comic that demands the reader pay close attention; clues and satirical in-jokes lurk in the corner of every frame. It’s also...a book you will want to start reading again almost as soon as you’ve finished… The Pleece brothers’ black and white drawings...have an energy that pulls you along. Their story gets under your skin.

    Rachel Cooke, Observer

  • Confidently written – and inked… It’s terrific dip-in-and-out-of entertainment.

    Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro

  • It’s anyone’s guess what the commissioning editors are smoking in the graphic novels department of Jonathan Cape, but when the results are this interesting, why inquire?... Total Lynchian disorder… What style!

    Tim Martin, Daily Telegraph

  • The Pleeces have fun with madness- both the ‘cap’ and the mental variety, with a deliberate muddying of the line between reality and the psychological.

    Forbidden Planet

  • A bleak, if intermittently joyful, mix of social and magical realism, it offers a snapshot of 21st-century stupidity and selfishness.

    Colin Smith, Q Magazine
