Jon McNaught

A journey through the inbetween places of the British landscape to the bleak coast, 'Kingdom' follows a family on their holiday to a small caravan park, where teenager Andrew explores the dunes, and half-remembered stories from the past are shared.0Once again, Jon McNaught creates a beautiful graphic novel that makes the ordinary, extraordinary.

Kingdom

It's a cloudy Tuesday in October and the residents of Dockwood are going about their business as usual. In Elmsview Nursing Home, a kitchen porter dutifully prepares lunch for residents. Along Nettlefield Road, a paperboy is delivering his evening round. And in the trees, swallows gather noisily in preparation for their annual migration. In this bittersweet and contemplative work, Jon McNaught weaves together the everyday lives of locals against the backdrop of autumnal transitions.

In his first graphic novella, Jon McNaught captures the beauty and peacefulness of our childhood neighborhoods and transports us back to those clear evenings dotted with pink fluffy clouds and the sound of silence we have come to yearn for after years of living in the bustle of the city.

A new collection of the early out-of-print work of English cartoonist Jon McNaught, author of the critically-acclaimed graphic novel Kingdom! Quiet, contemplative, and design-focused, this will be a hit with any fans of Chris Ware or Seth. "There's a filmic quality to McNaught's shots, a pacing and spacing reminiscent of Terrence Malick's films," says The Comics Journal. Nobrow brings Jon McNaught's early work to a wider audience in this beautiful collection of his long out-of-print titles Birchfield Close, Pebble Island, and Dockwood, all originally published by Nobrow in 2012.
