Bottled

A haunting portrait of millennial alienation, tinged with body horror and Greek tragedy, glamour and terror — Bottled is a gripping debut from Australian graphic novelist Chris Gooch.

What are friends for?

Jane is sick of her dead-end life in the suburbs and desperate for a change. Her old schoolmate Natalie made it out, working in Japan as a fashion model. Now, as Natalie comes back to town on business, Jane sees a way for her friend to do her a favor… whether she likes it or not.
