One for The77 fans! “Art of Andrew Sawyers” launches

By John Freeman on December 6, 2023

If you’re a fan of the independently-published The77 comic anthology and associated publications, then you will almost certainly want to check out The Art of Andrew Sawyers – a 52-page compendium of some of art from one of the title’s lead creators – collecting work from over the last four years, some never before seen, or reprinted in their original raw form. (Please note – some content is for mature readers only).

American-sized format and perfect bound, The Art of Andrew Sawyers has a limited print run, with orders being taken now for delivery later this month and early January.

The preorders are all being upgraded with an exclusive alternate art dust jacket.

Voted “moST Cyco in school”, after leaving academia and art school – Andrew Sawyers went on a 25 year hiatus to pursue other endeavours in life. But his thirst to create and illustrate since a child was never quenched, the fire not diminished, and he returned to drawing four years ago, his distinctive work published in The ‘77, SHIFT, Pandora, This Comic is Haunted, Dead by Dawn, and White Heat – alongside a myriad of covers and pages for Caulkhead Comics, Lawless, The Kirknewton History and The Most Important Comic on Earth.

His work has also been published on music releases for The Aggros (Parris Mayhew founding CroMag), Memoriam, H-Drive and Vertical Noise.
