Hicksville

by Dylan Horrocks

Hidden in a quiet corner of New Zealand's East Cape is a town where the beach is sunny, the tea is hot, the locals are friendly, and everyone loves comics. When reporter Leonard Batts turns up in Hicksville looking for the inside story on the town's most famous export, comic book megastar Dick Burger, he expects a simple tale of local boy made good. Instead he finds a town full of wonders and surprises and a dark mysterious secret no one's willing to share. This internationally acclaimed New Zealand graphic novel is a wryly funny story about the dangerous business of art and a haunting meditation on longing and regret, on getting lost and finding your way home.
