Reviewed by Selina Lock
Teenage girl Ukin is afraid she is developing a brain tumour after suffering from severe migraines,  though her Doctor is less than sympathetic. The truth is stranger than either of them expected as Ukin sprouts antlers, making her a target for the press, public, and a mysterious figure who’s following her. The story examines how the appearance of antlers affects Ukin and the relationships with those around her.
Fenton has developed an interesting art style, which is based on manga crossed with a scratchy cartoon influence. The art conveys extreme facial expressions and emotions to match the drama inherent in a tale of teenage woe. This is not just melodrama though, as Fenton deftly deals with concepts of family and acceptance. Recommended for those that like a little surrealism and mystery anchored by strong characters.

My health conspired against me this week, so no reviews. Instead here’s a round-up of some of the latest project by creators who have appeared in The Girly Comic:

Dave Windett (creator of Angela D’eath) is illustrating a new webcomic called Comic Book Mafia, and his Angela D’eath Tarot Card has been featured on the Endless Deck site.

Allen Ashley (creator of Pumpkin Coach) let me know about his new short story collection Once and Future Cities (Eibonvale Press, UK). He’s also doing a reading on Tuesday 27th April 2010 at Alexandra Park Library, London N22. People are welcome to check his web site for details: www.allenashley.com or contact him on allen@allenashley.com or allenashley58@hotmail.com.

Josceline Fenton (creator of Promesse and cover artist of The Girly Comic #13) has a new graphic novel out. Ukin is about a teenager who unexpectedly grows antlers! Review coming soon.

Kate Brown (creator of Monster in the Well) has been a very busy lady, as she has recently won the 2010 Arts Foundation Award for Graphic Novels and her graphic novel Spidermoon will be coming out on the 29th April.

Kate, fellow Girly creator Karen Rubins and Emma Vieceli will also be appearing on April 29th at the Sci-Fi London event British Women of Manga Panel.

Closer to home, Jay has a short story, Spare Change, appearing in the next issue of Murky Depths (#12). He has also taken over as Comics & Graphic Novels Reviews Editor for the British Fantasy Society newsletter Prism.
