Reviews:
“You hooked me from Page 1 and didn’t let go until the last page. It’s mysterious, and constantly intriguing, with horror often hovering in the background……Zookeeper is brilliant. Praise for the artist…his art is in turns, bleak, horrific and almost normal. A great job by any standard.” Alan Grant – Batman, Lobo, Judge Dredd
“Zookeeper raises interesting questions, and navigates a world full of (very) relevant themes, such as the environmental impact of humans, and fear of isolation.” – Stref – Milk, Raising Amy, JM Barrie’s Peter Pan

Picked up Vol 1 and 2 at Edinburgh Comicon and binge read them on my flight to Dubai last night. An amazing, compelling story, beautifully illustrated and paced. You feel equally frustrated by John and sympathetic to his situation. Hugely entertaining and thought provoking. Can’t wait for Vol 3.
