Deep Breaths

The award-winning Chris Gooch (Bottled) is a rising star of the vibrant Australian comics scene. This eerie and evocative collection reveals the astonishing spectrum of his storytelling powers.

A space bounty hunter tracks down a frog princess, a woman finds a condom where it shouldn't be, and a spoiled art student works his first freelance job. Deep Breaths is a collection of short comics about tension, violence, monsters, and moments... including the award-winning story "Mooreland Mates" and nine other tales, rarely or never before seen.

Chris Gooch is a graphic novelist based out of Melbourne, Australia. He was selected for a 2016 TRANSIT artist residency at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) and, having published many short comics, made his graphic novel debut with Bottled at SPX 2017. Bottled received significant acclaim, including Australia's Silver Ledger Award and starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. He received the Lord Mayor's Creative Writing Prize for "Mooreland Mates," one of the short stories collected in Deep Breaths.
