(You may already know all, so apologies in advance okay)
Last year I published a collection of my autobio comics called Ellerbisms. It's a story of a relationship but it's not as emo as it sounds (well, kinda) The book came out real nice, with rounded corners and spot varnish on the cover and all sorts. People seem to like it I guess. Here's a blurb...
Ellerbisms is the story of a relationship told in pictures through the autobiographical comics of Marc Ellerby. Ellerbisms catches a glimpse into the life of a young couple, their highs and lows, their sighs and LOLs. The book collects more than 200 original strips plus an additional 30 pages of brand new material exclusive to this edition.
It's coming up to the year anniversary of publication and it's done quite well for what is essentially a book about my face. I'll have copies at all my forthcoming conventions (The Lakes in Kendal and Thought Bubble in Leeds) but (here's what I'm hinting at) you can buy it direct from me here. You can even get a personalised edition and a copy of its sister book Hourly Comics to go with it.
Anyway, here's some nice things people have said about it...
"Ellerby made something very special in Ellerbisms, but in collecting it here, special became sublime, and he delivered one of the best autobiographical works I’ve ever read."- Forbidden Planet International
" Book of the month. A document of young love in the 21st century, this feels incredibly true and had me really rooting for the young protagonists. Funny, poignant and brave this is a real tour-de-force." - The Crack
"Frequently laugh-out-loud funny." - The New Statesman
"I’d rack this right between James Kochalka and Jeffrey Brown and rank it their thoroughly affecting equal both in insight and entertainment value." - Page 45
Here endth the guff. A good day to you all!
