WALKING DISTANCE BY LIZZY STEWART

Hardcover, 60 pages, B&W & Colour, 210x148mm (A5).

Walking Distance is Lizzy Stewart's poignant and contemporary illustrated essay on the experience of being a woman out walking. Merging the personal and the political, observation and contemplation, Lizzy examines what her life is and wonders what it should be; what is expected of a thirty year old woman by society, by family and friends and by herself.

She walks the streets of her London, creating it and herself. Gaining agency by being in control of her own direction, speed and momentum. Walking is both an internal and external experience. A time for self-reflection, for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age, sex and race and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves?

A meditation on gender politics, social commentary and eighties movies, interlaced with shards of autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of sequential and non-sequential watercolour images.

Renowned astronomer, Maggie Hill, is due to deliver a lecture about her astonishing career to a group of science students. She’s also attending her first ever therapy session in order to overcome some debilitating anxiety. Plus, Maggie's heartbroken... but she doesn't know this yet. Through facing first herself and then a group of terrifyingly ambitious and canny young women, Maggie is forced to share her greatest achievements and admit her biggest regrets.

Based on Molly Naylor's award-winning play, Lights, Planets, People! is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about failure, legacy, mental health and communication – both interpersonal and intergalactic.

Praise for the creators:

‘Naylor offers a moving and sometimes humorous presentation of both the most personal moments and the greatest cosmic things that build our world. It’s an empowering piece that questions our approach on such differing themes of mental health and space, making us realise that they might have more in common than you’d think’. - Katrina Bennet, Razz

‘Lizzy Stewart is one of comics’ great observers of those seemingly smaller moments of human existence.’ - Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
