Thomas Wogan Is Dead Review

by The Boat Man Email

Thomas Wogan Is Dead was written and illustrated by Dave Hughes who self published this title as well. Thomas Wogan is a sad lonely character with a fetish for Delia Smith, who finds himself in a strange waiting room with a number of unlikely companions. As they begin to share their last memories, the events that brought them to where they are, all end in an increasingly familiar way.

This is a excellently told short story that has a very odd and unnerving atmosphere. The perfect blend of sad characters and simple but extremely effective art work give the story a very emotive appeal that I seldom find in comics. Not to say it doesn't exist but its something I have not really come across myself in my limited experience.

I really enjoyed this book and would heartily recommend it. Its £5.99 so its not going to break the bank, which you will never be thinking about anyway because its worth every penny.
