"August Always is a fascinating and moving autobiographical account of a 2000AD fan growing up in Northern Ireland who is beset by and survives a life-threatening illness. It's the first such memoir to see print, there are others in the pipeline, but here, for the first time, is an intimate account of the powerful impact the legendary science fiction comic has on its readers. There is a remarkable juxtaposition between the fantasy escapism that such comics represent and the sobering reality of his disability. In that sense it reminded me of Judge Dredd artist John Hicklenton's struggles with MS and how he, too, used fantasy to rise above his illness with his 100 months graphic novel. Perhaps it's the reason science fiction is more popular than ever today, because 21st century reality is often harder to bear. But ultimately Jonathan rises above adversity and science fiction and reality merge as he dreams of possessing a HAL, a cybernetic exoskeleton now being developed, that could give him the strength to walk again. It's astonishing to think that Jonathan would have grown up reading about such sf robot suits in 2000AD and now they're science fact. There are many books which describe the triumph of the individual over tragedy, but few with this level of intimacy and vulnerability as Jonathan reveals the innermost longings of his soul to us." - Patrick Mills, the creator of 2000 AD - the galaxy's greatest comic.

AUGUST ALWAYS BY JONATHAN FISHER eBook Jonathan Fisher

This memoir displays and incredible strength of spirit and enduring humour; conveyed intimately yet casually, as if you are being told directly by the writer about his life. The story is relatable and interesting - a window into the life of someone dealing with illness and disability, who also shares not only his struggles but his triumphs and things he loves in life. A highly recommended read for those into comics and other cult fandoms of the 80s/90s! I'm looking forward to reading more from Jonathan Fisher, he's really going places!
