Skidmarks
By Ilya
Available for the first time in trade paperback, SKIDMARKS was originally issued as a three issue series by TUNDRA UK, and has been collected with extra material by Active Images. Described by publisher Richard Starkings as "KES for bicycle enthusiasts," or (for those of you who don't share his love for obscure British movies from the sixties) "LOVE AND ROCKETS meets Fish'n'Chips," SKIDMARKS is a kitchen sink drama revolving around the life and loves of Bic.
Readers who like LOVE AND ROCKETS, ALEC or STRANGERS IN PARADISE will get a kick out of SKIDMARKS.
"Tits. Absolute tits."
— Dave Sim, Cerebus "Excellent... comes on like Love and Rockets crash-landed between London and Bristol"
— The Face "Ilya's tale represents a very convincing portrayal of the ambitions of youth, and it is highly recommended for anyone seeking a fun, smart, incredible ride."
— Tim Hartnett, SilverBulletComicBooks.com "Bow down and say a silent prayer to the comic book gods above that there is still work like Skidmarks available for the rest of us to immerse ourselves in."
— from the Introduction by Joe Casey "Bike-obsessed Bic finds the loot dropped when his local shop is robbed. Should he give it back, or buy the bike of his dreams to impress the girls? Ilya writes sensitively about the wild enthusiasms of youth in this convincing slice-of-life tale."
— Fiona Jerome, Comic Guide
