There are very few issues of Browner Knowle left -particularly the final issue and these books do not get reprints. There is your "investment potential" right there.
Read the review and check out BK for back issue availability -some are almost sold out.

Areas will live
Areas will DIE
Following the cosmic events that rocked the Knowle area of Bristol in 2018* it seems that nothing will ever be the same.
The Ten.
There is one lone survivor.
Pariah or saint?
Devil or Angel?
These are his entries into "The Book of Last Days".
These are his final words.
That or this is the very last issue of Browner Knowle. meh -take your pick.
Yes, ten issues of the legendary series from the Prince of Pauperism, old Slow Hand, The Princess of Power and the Purple Master of Pleurisy -call him what you will (I do) but Paul Ashley Brown has called it a day.
Some 28 pages and each page equal in import to The Book of Revelations but with the sexy bits removed.
Furniture is a lesson in life. Monochromatic graphic illustration revealing the truth that life is one long and miserable road and no matter how you kid yourself that you have escaped the endless cycle will continue.
In life it is only the cat that gets to lie in front of the fire and twitch its tail.
Stolen Bicycle -the salty stains are still on my cheeks. At 4 am I opened my bedroom window, looked up at the night sky and screamed as loud as my triple pneumonied lungs would allow: "WHAT ABOUT THAT LITTLE CHILD IN KNOWLE, YOU BASTARD?!!"
From the Ice Age -if it were not for bad eye-to-hand coordination and a blunt knife I would now be lying on the kitchen floor with my wrists cut!
Oh Merry Christmas to you heartless dogs!
A View From The Escalator and Rachael would have had Brian Sewell knocking one off for Dali! i did. Twice.
Closedown -my angry built up and I could taste the bile at the back of my throat. HOW could he? Has he taken leave of all his senses??? "Closedown" is two words and there SHOULD be a hyphen between them. DAMN HIM TO A DAY IN NORTHALL'S BATHROOM!!
Brian's Cox had me hypnotised. Possibly one of the most beautifully drawn examples of an erect male phallus I have ever seen in 60 years!! Of course, I had fallen asleep and was looking at an issue of Glaswegian Big Cocks and not BK 10. Thankfully no one will ever know about that.
Milly In The Playground -hyphenated or un-hyphenated is acceptable. Nothing sordid about this tale of a little school-girl. Just sad. Very sad.
Secret Lead Guitar 9 A.M. This character needs to meet the one I saw who fancied himself a rock drummer. I passed the park bench he was sat on while rhymically chanting "Beat the meat. Beat the meat. ohhhhhhh....yeah"
Alice on the Brink -touching. Nothing sordid there. Just what we expect from a man that likes to spread some cream cheese on his rhubarb then asks you to slowly lick it off -know what I mean?
Only Now, Dorothy had the salty tears return.
Horses -that fella with the flowers needs reporting. Would I care to have a few words with him? Indeed I would not!
Common Kid in a Common Land - there is always cover for a stranger'd centre-folded stories.
Rainfall -is it wrong that this gave me the right horn? I has harder than The Times crossword!
When it comes down to it this has been The Corsetted Ones ten issues of therapy replete with solid black and white and dainty delicate cross-hatching -and later issues colour covers! I will miss Browner Knowle and its way of making me want to top myself...seriously, these issues ought to be collected into one graphic novel and make him tons of money so he can flee the stalking of "The Scented One".
Of course, every final issue has to have a thank yo and even though I think I know two people in this list they need crediting.
Buy and enjoy.
*The "Shedding" craze
