One of the five shortlisted entries for the Best Comic category in this year’s British Comic Awards Beast Wagon returns for the second part of its serialised story this November. A book that was described in its initial press material as “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest with talking animals…” I reviewed the first issue earlier this year in our regular ‘Small Pressganged’ column here remarking then that “with an almost grim psychedelia to its ominous, pounding cadence Beast Wagon’s taut and captivating storytelling makes this a brooding thriller to watch.”
Full details on the comic’s release are below but in the meantime here’s a sneak peek at the cover and some interiors from #2.
