Hello
Milk White Steed came out in February 2025. It is a short story collection of magical realism comics about Black British history, folklore, oral storytelling and identity. Set in the English midlands and outer space, Comics Beat said it was ‘Stunning comics poetry’. Fuzzy Frontiers said the storytelling has a ‘jazz-like virtuosity.’ and Copacetic Comics said that the book has ‘Broken new ground’.
I spoke to The Comics Journal about the stories and my older comic strip work. At some point I really got into the weeds of it with Drew over at the Miami Review of Comics.

You can buy the book from any reputable seller, here are a couple of personal faves.
