Phil Davis@Yell0wbag Hi Jonathan. Just read your bio and your penchant for sci-fi/1000 pages immediately made me think of this: #RianHughes #XX
If you've not read it, it's spectacularly enjoyable on a truly epic scale...
Bogi TakácsToday on Bogi Reads the World:
I'm reviewing XX by Rian Hughes.
I read it for a book club I'm in, enjoyed it at first, then developed increasing misgivings as I went on...

New Patreon post (will become public later):
Reviewing XX by Rian Hughes. Humongously thick book (980 pages!). This started interesting, but turned slowly into a PLEASE DON'T - despite the typographic fun.

Neil PolowinNew #artbook day! Today's mail call includes 'Rayguns & Rocketships' from #RianHughes - a 460+ page collection of SF paperback cover art from the 30s-60s. Fascinating stuff.
I'd recommend #RianHughes' #XX. An epic story told with a bold and entertaining graphic twist. Some great, original ideas and the added bonus of a superb homage to 60s sci-fi paperbacks - introducing Herschel Teague - and not forgetting an accompanying soundtrack by #DJFood and #saronhughes
