More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Proper Go Well High is the second book by Manchester comic artist Oliver East. Following on from his 'breakout' book Trains are...Mint this book sees Oliver further adventuring out on walks from Manchester until he reaches Liverpool, recording the many things that pass us by in everyday life. Part travel book, part diary, Oliver manages to capture both the beauty and problems of this part of the country whilst passing some social and political comment as he goes. Told in a series of beautifully composed panels this is a step forward for the artist and another leg up the path of critical acclaim for the new British comics. Trains are... Mint was nominated for the 2008 Ignatz award (recognising outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning) and Oliver was the cover and booklet artist on the Mercury award winning Elbow album The Seldom Seen Kid.

Proper Go Well High... is Mint!
10 April 2011
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book because I really liked the artwork on the last 2 Elbow cds, done by Oliver. It is one of the most original, absorbing and lovely books I have ever read. The book takes the reader on a wonderful journey from Manchester to Liverpool. It is funny, sweet and moving and as you read it you feel as if every moment has slowed down and as if you can hold each one in the palm of your hand. I am often in a hurry to finish a book, but I can honestly say that I really didn't want this journey to end. It is so full of truth, honesty and poignant observations that it nourishes the soul... well, it nourished mine anyway. A faberoony book!
