The proof of Aiyo! has arrived!


 

The proof of Aiyo! has arrived and it looks excellent - the format and the cover reminds me so much of the old War Picture Library comics I used to buy and read as a kid. I am just giving it a good look, and if all is well, we will roll to final print tomorrow!

A man orders a bunny chow from a deserted takeaway in Chatsworth late one night, and is told a morbid tale by the seductive owner. A woman wants to cut her long hair and encounters strange opposition. A Durban man travels to India to meet his beautiful bride-to-be, but soon discovers that her parents have other things in mind.
