Do you know if Psychiatric Tales Vol 1 is still being released through Diamond? I ask because I work at a comic book store and I made sure that we ordered a copy for the shelf - but it's been an awfully long time and it hasn't shown up...
I love your work, but this story makes me ask if in your career you have ever encountered or heard of a case where someone made seemingly incredible claims that later proved to be true?
You should read 'The Air Loom Gang' by Mike Jay. It's an account of James Tilly Matthews, the first psychiatric case to invent an 'influencing machine.' It's a fascinating read, and goes some way towards answering your question.
A fascinating story, Darryl, with a strong, positive message. Superbly drawn as always - the almost Pictish dog is wonderful. Just a couple of typos: Moor's Murderers should simply be Moors wihout the apostrophe (two instances) and I would suggest 'dog-attacking baby' (with a hyphen). Can't wait for this second volume.
British Artist Darryl Cunningham is a prolific cartoonist. His book Psychiatric Tales is out now from Blank Slate in the UK, and from Bloomsbury in the US. He's currently working on Uncle Bob Adventures, also for Blank Slate. Science Tales is out now from Myriad Editions . Read all about me in this interview.

As a one time employee of a well known national bus company I can tell you this guy was pretty good mentally for a bus driver.

Good stuff and very interesting.
Cheers for that, Darryl.

I just read Psychiatric tales and it was pretty fantastic! Looking forward to book number two!

Love your work. So happy you are getting the acknowledgement you deserve.
