Warren Pleece Signs The Great Unwashed at Gosh!

Posted: December 4, 2012

This coming Saturday, the 8th of December, British comics dude Warren Pleece (one half of the Pleece brothers) will be at Gosh! Comics, 1 Berwick Street, London W1F 0DR, from 5 to 6pm, signing copies of his new book The Great Unwashed – a hardcover anthology 25 years in the making.

The Great Unwashed by Gary and Warren Pleece, published by Escape Books, brings together comically poignant and darkly sarcastic stories of washed-up comedians, prancing rock stars, obsessive compulsive collectors, terrible teenage poets, dead souls, dysfunctional double-acts and decaying sea-side splendour, all into one ‘bumper-packed’, ink laden graphic novel.

Featuring works originally seen in their very own comic mag Velocity, Escape, Crisis, Revolver and other anthologies, alongside previously unpublished and new work spanning over twenty years, the Pleece Brothers bring you their own slanted take on popular (and unpopular) culture, in glorious black and white and worn out watercolours.

There’s a preview over at Warren’s site and here is the Facebook event page. If you’d like to reserve a copy or want to arrange a signed book/mail order, send an email to info[at]goshlondon.com and they’ll sort one out for you.

Also, while you are out and about this Saturday, don’t miss the Santa’s Ghetto Fair Day at Comica Festival’s Score and Script Exhibition at the Centre for Recent Drawing close to Highbury & Islington rail and tube station, a great way to meet the 23 exhibiting artists and buy comics and other treats direct from them. It’s free and runs from 1-6pm, so you can easily go to both!
