hen we set up Nobrow in 2008, we printed our first book by hand on a screen printing bed, and produced 100 lovingly-made copies. Now, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are printing hundreds of thousands of books each year, and our team includes 16 staff members across our London and New York offices. They all work tirelessly alongside our brilliant artists to create the work that you enjoy when you open up one of our books. We love publishing them because we love that people love buying them, borrowing them, reading them, discussing them and sharing them.

All of the books in this year’s catalogue are beyond what we imagined might be possible when we first started Nobrow. So thank you to all of our collaborators, collectors, and everyone else who enjoys our work.

We are dreaming of 10 more wonderful years!

his stereotype-busting graphic novel subverts 1950s clichés to bring you an utterly wild, pink-tinted trip in Ryan Heshka's unmistakably cool style.

The Mean Girls Club has been laying waste to the town for years, and the power-crazed Mayor Schlomo is hell-bent on their destruction. He blackmails a young mechanic named Roxy to infiltrate the Clubhouse – but her feisty attitude lands her an initiation into the Club instead! Torn between the sleazebag Mayor’s dirty threats and her unexpected friendships with the Mean Girls, Roxy holds the fate of the Club in her hands…

Ryan Heshka is a self-taught artist and illustrator based in Vancouver. His work is strongly influenced by antiquated comics, pin-ups and pulp magazines and has been exhibited extensively across Europe and North America.

his New York Times bestselling graphic biography is an introduction to one of the most influential architects of the last hundred years.

From the subway to the skyscraper, from Manhattan’sFinancial District to the Long Island suburbs, every inch of New York tells the story of Robert Moses' mind; the architect who changed the face of an entire city. In Pierre Christin and Olivier Balez’s sepia-toned work, Robert’s story is revealed.

'The reader who yearns to see Moses-style urban planning in action gets plenty of it.' – The New York Times Pierre Christin is the French writer of the ongoing Valerian series.

He has also written several comics one-shots, including The City That Didn’t Exist, The Black Order Brigade and The Hunting Party.

Olivier Balez is a longtime comics artist and children’s book illustrator who resides in Chile. He has illustrated work in virtually every genre of comics.

My annus mirabilis!

BIG MOTHER

1905 was a momentous year.

They shook the very foundations of the scientific world.

FIRST, I DEMONSTRATED THE EXISTENCE OF ATOMS WITHOUT DIRECTLY OBSERVING THEM.

At the time, it was still uncertain whether matter was composed of atoms, these minuscule particles that have at once mass* and energy.
