A space bounty hunter tracks down a frog princess, a
woman finds a condom where it shouldn't be, and a spoiled art student works his
first freelance job. Deep Breaths is a collection of short comics about tension,
violence, monsters, and moments... including the awardwinning story "Mooreland
Mates" and nine other tales, rarely or never before seen. Builds on the
fantastic critical reception of Gooch's first book Bottled


Another step forward for the growing
appreciation of literary short comics as a format Like Carolyn Nowak, Chris
Gooch (b. 1993) is a real "voice of a generation" that resonates with
20something readers but also appeals to older readers with a wisdom beyond his
years

Praise for Chris Gooch, winner of
the Silver Ledger Award for excellence in Australian comics: "Gooch lingers
over camera lenses, the arc of a knife through space, the pause before someone
makes a fateful decision, and other liminal moments in a life hurtling towards
destruction... Devastating." Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
