hen we set up Nobrow in 2008, we printed our first book by hand on a screen printing bed, and produced 100 lovingly-made copies. Now, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are printing hundreds of thousands of books each year, and our team includes 16 staff members across our London and New York offices. They all work tirelessly alongside our brilliant artists to create the work that you enjoy when you open up one of our books. We love publishing them because we love that people love buying them, borrowing them, reading them, discussing them and sharing them. All of the books in this year’s catalogue are beyond what we imagined might be possible when we first started Nobrow. So thank you to all of our collaborators, collectors, and everyone else who enjoys our work. We are dreaming of 10 more wonderful years! Sam Arthur CEO/Co-founder 5

his stereotype-busting graphic novel subverts 1950s clichés to bring you an utterly wild, pink-tinted trip in Ryan Heshka's unmistakably cool style.
The Mean Girls Club has been laying waste to the town for years, and the power-crazed Mayor Schlomo is hell-bent on their destruction. He blackmails a young mechanic named Roxy to infiltrate the Clubhouse – but her feisty attitude lands her an initiation into the Club instead! Torn between the sleazebag Mayor’s dirty threats and her unexpected friendships with the Mean Girls, Roxy holds the fate of the Club in her hands…
Ryan Heshka is a self-taught artist and illustrator based in Vancouver. His work is strongly influenced by antiquated comics, pin-ups and pulp magazines and has been exhibited extensively across Europe and North America.
