‘The
sparse writing style, unique drawings
and touch of the absurd which
make up the work of Chris Reynolds have led to his being heralded as
perhaps the most exciting British talent in comics.’ -Northern Events ‘Chris Reynolds is a cartoonist of the first rank. Unique. Remember his name.’ -Seth, author of ‘Palookaville’ and ‘Clyde Fans’

The Truth About Rosa Pleck and the Cinema DetectivesRosa Pleck won the certificate for ‘Most Gifted Girl’ at Winson Green Primary School.But this slightly went to her head so that when at Secondary she didn’t do quite so well she got a bit of teasing, although she was still clever and always had a wild imagination. Rosa left school at 16 – early – before taking her exams – because she wanted to take a job like her best friend Jane, in a busy office. She realised her mistake after just a few weeks but felt unable to correct it by returning ignominiously to school. “...Kenneth
Prime was looking for a girl to handle the
office work at his new detective agency...”
A little later on, aware of Rosa’s unhappiness, her mother urged her to reply to an unusual job advertisement she had seen in the Birmingham Mail: Someone called Kenneth Prime was looking for a girl to handle the office work at his new detective agency. Rosa followed her mother’s advice and was hired. Almost too quickly for Ken, Rosa rapidly moved across from office work to become Assistant Detective and soon she was working away from the office more often than Ken did. |
