A space bounty hunter tracks down a frog princess, awoman finds a condom where it shouldn't be, and a spoiled art student works hisfirst freelance job. Deep Breaths is a collection of short comics about tension,violence, monsters, and moments... including the awardwinning story "MoorelandMates" and nine other tales, rarely or never before seen. Builds on thefantastic critical reception of Gooch's first book Bottled Another step forward for the growingappreciation of literary short comics as a format Like Carolyn Nowak, ChrisGooch (b. 1993) is a real "voice of a generation" that resonates with20something readers but also appeals to older readers with a wisdom beyond hisyears Praise for Chris Gooch, winner ofthe Silver Ledger Award for excellence in Australian comics: "Gooch lingersover camera lenses, the arc of a knife through space, the pause before someonemakes a fateful decision, and other liminal moments in a life hurtling towardsdestruction... Devastating." Publishers Weekly (starredreview)
