Product Description

Product Description

Britannia is ten years dead. Phonomancer David Kohl hadn't spared his old patron a thought for almost as long... at which point his mind starts to unravel. Can he discover what's happened to the Mod-Goddess of Britpop while there's still something of himself left? Dark modern-fantasy in a world where music is magic, where a song can save your life or end it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, 13 Sep 2009
By James Marriott "MacKerrell" (Various bits of southern England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I hadn't bought a comic since the Beano at age 7-ish, but as soon as I heard about this, I had to get it. It almost certainly helps if you like mainstream '90s rock bands, who were constantly on the radio at about the time I was reading the Beano. However, I really enjoyed both the story and artwork, and am extremely grateful for the musicians it induced me to explore further (Kenickie and Scout Niblett in particular, neither of whom fall into the Britpop category).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Thoroughly British Comic, 25 Oct 2009
By A. Radovic - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The comic borrows heavily from the style most common to the works of Vertigo comics- and if you enjoyed the likes of some of Hellblazer's more offbeat stories then you should find much joy in this aswell. Much has been made of the focus in the book on the Britpop movement, but to be fair it could be any subject matter used as a focus for the works real theme- that of Nostalgia. That said those familiar with the period should find the comic particulalry rewarding as the creators obviously have a great deal of love for it themselves and your can scarcely turn a page without tripping over one subtle (or not so subtle) referance or another.

In summary if you like the format of works like hellblazer, the uniquely british style of comics, or are just are fascinated by the britpop movement you should get something from this. I certainly did :D

2.0 out of 5 stars Just what the fudge is any of this supposed to mean?, 12 Sep 2009
By L. Copeland "Arty-pants" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This graphic novel has been a disappointment from start to finish for me.

I first got into Phonogram when I read some of the comics, then I ordered back issues since I liked them so much. It seems it has only improved over time, as this first outing, a collection of pretentious, self indulgent preening over the over rated, overhyped Britpop phenomenom, proves without doubt.

Was it even good?

I thought it was pretty damned bland and I lived through it at it's peak. Thank god it's over and we can all go back to not caring.


Absolute vanity in print.
