Not Because of the People - Digital Edition

Four stories about empty places and the people that live there, Not Because of the People collects four years worth of comics I've made using a mix of heavily manipulated photographs and illustration.

These are haunted stories for haunted times, stories full of ideas and images that seem abstract until they step out beside you at the bus stop and ask if you've got the time.

"Not Because of the People is one of those occasional comics that remind even those of us who consider ourselves reasonably well versed with the potential of the form that we have barely begun to fully appreciate all the things that comics can be. A recommended acquisition for readers who like something a little more challenging to their comics consumption" - Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

“Classic British indie small press pamphlet, and a sharp burst of mood and ideas. It’s very much comics as poem – it’s the sort of work that Douglas Noble has been known to do” – Kieron Gillen, writer of The Uncanny X-Men and The Wicked + The Divine

“A spooky zine… Liked this a lot. The writing is really strong and the art suggests just enough to make you uneasy – Sarah Horrocks, artist and creator of Aorta and Goro
