Paul B. Rainey

I’ve updated my online shop with signed and sketched editions of Murder School, Why Don’t You Love Me and There’s No Time Like The Present. Plus other items! Www.pbRainey.com

Trapped in by the stormy weather? Why not have a look in my comics shop, there's loads there and I'll post em on Monday. rob-jackson-comics.sumupstore.com

Murder School is one of The Financial Times graphic novels of the month. “It’s a worthy addition to the pantheon of classic English school stories; think Lindsay Anderson’s If . . . but starring Adrian Mole.” www.ft.com/content/9ff2...,

Slings And Arrows reviews Murder School. “If you thought 1980s schooling was The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller, the British reality is a jaw-dropping contrast.” theslingsandarrows.com/murder-school/

For anyone old enough to remember the UK Catholic boys' schools of the 1970s and 1980s @pbrainey.bsky.social will induce a shudder of repressed memories with Murder School. @dandq.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/murder-school/
