    John Allison

    Born in a hidden village deep within the British Alps, John Allison came into this world a respectable baby with style and taste. Having been exposed to American comics at an early age, he spent decades honing his keen mind and his massive body in order to burn out this colonial cultural infection. One of the longest continuously publishing independent web-based cartoonists, John has plied his trade since the late nineties moving from Bobbins to Scary Go Round to Bad Machinery, developing the deeply weird world of Tackleford long after many of his fellow artists were ground into dust and bones by Time Itself. He has only once shed a single tear, but you only meet Sergio Aragonés for the first time once. John resides in Letchworth Garden City, England, and is known to his fellow villagers only as He Who Has Conquered.

      Giant Days is a YA comic about a trio of first-year college students in the UK, who seem to find trouble wherever they go. I went into knowing it was the first volume of a series, but I was disappointed that it didn't seem to standalone at all. It reads like a series of vignettes and then ends just as a new one is starting. Each vignette seemed to be half baked and are therefore rather unsatisfying with their lack of meatiness. Furthermore, the characters were all too over the top for me. Perhaps fittingly, the illustrations are equally expressive to a fault. I have no desire to pick up any further volumes from this series.
    • 4/5
      I really liked this! The representation of university life was pretty much spot on, and I liked how they explored different facets of what to expect during your first few months. Can't wait to read more volumes. I enjoyed the artwork and how our characters were introduced. I'm excited to get to know them more and see how they develop and change due to university life.
    • 5/5
      Loved this graphic novel. Thanks to Littens for recommending it on Litsy.
    • 4/5
      While I love some superhero comics as well as comic series that feature strife and conflict (Saga, Bitch Planet), it is so refreshing to read a comic series that features regular people doing regular things like panicking when they realize that university exams are nearing. But the best part is the friendship of these three girls, despite their different personalities, and how they would do anything for each other.
    • 5/5
      Instant favorite. Love these girls!
    • 4/5
      LOVE THIS. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Lumberjanes who are getting older and want something more mature. And, at the risk of sounding like an a$$hole: I can't believe this was written by a guy. John Allison perfectly captures those first moments of freedom and last moments of "innocence" that are the late teens. I was never exactly any of these girls, but I can see my younger self in all of them.
    • 3/5
      Maybe it was all the set up for future episodes or maybe it was the British vibe, but this didn't quite make it for me. The characters were too big and lacked any dignity. Maybe future volumes will improve the stories.
    • 2/5
      At one point in my life--25-30 years ago--I would have enjoyed this graphic novel. Now I am too old, the plot seems a little silly (or maybe just very typical and not original). My 8th grader was somewhat interested (he LOVES graphic novels), but this is not appropriate for him (too many drugs) and I also think he would find it boring (relationships).
    • 5/5
      It was funny, smart and ... many other good things. Simply loved it.Three main characters are hilarious and considering their huge differences in personality gives the book so many opportunities to create a funny situation.
    • 5/5
      A comic about three first-year college friends and their adventures. I loved it. Will absolutely be tracking down the other volumes.
    • 4/5
      This graphic novel follows 3 girls navigating life as college freshman and all the things that come with that. I was a little unsure if I would get into this story or not but it surprised me. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of these in the future!
    • 3/5
      A comic series following the adventures of three first year university students in the first few months of academic life.It's cute and funny in spots but I wasn't completely swept away by it. I'll give it another volume to knock my socks off before I designate as lovely but not something I feel the need to be sucked into.
    • 4/5
      Terrific collection of the first four issues. Bright, smart and funny stories about three young women at a provincial uni. I will happily read more of these.
    • 4/5
      Susan, Esther, and Daisy started university and became great friends and now they are using their newfound freedom to reinvent their characters, leaving their old personas behind, or at least try to. I really like the characters and the situations they get into feel real for their ages. The art is simple, but is very expressive and fits the purpose. Very enjoyable read and I will have to try another installment.
    • 5/5
      A quick introduction to these eclectic and hilarious characters, helping to relive my good old university days....that i never really had. Am glad there is a series to follow becasue I want to see what else they get up to.

      Quotes and snippets:
      Esther's fever break dream, way to ruin a wine and cheese party!
      Esther's boots! Totally wprth the low bank account!
      "Why wont my brain stop talking to me?.......[knock, knock].......This had better be the sandman."
      Love the signs in the community kitchen.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this more then I originally thought I would.It has a beautiful art style that I really liked, it also made me laugh a few times.
    • 4/5
      If Archie were written by smart feminist college students.
    • 4/5
      A lighthearted delight.
    • 3/5
      My first adult graphic novel. It was cute and a nice time out from my other reads. I'm curious how things continue so I will move on to the second volume. 3.5 ⭐️
    • 5/5
      In this comics collection, three girls room next to each other at university and have become one another's best friends. The navigate university, parties, significant others, getting the flu, and so on--all the stuff that feels so important in college, because it *is.* I just loved this to bits and will be reading all the rest of it. Recommended.
