When Wildcat Arson hits her new employer where she lives, Shauna Wickle is drawn into a brutal, vindictic quilting world as sisterhood and community guidance deteriorates into internal conflict. Promising to put an end to all her financial worries, shauna must cross the enemy line and infiltrate the executives of the “human-skinned monster.” But they look like that… okay?
“I’m not saying I’ve entered the center of darkness to study this story,” Alison said. “But I certainly went to some quilting shops. I think this is the first direct market comic book to try and clean the lid from the previous secret world of secret patchwork. I would like to thank my collaborators at Kobk… mainly for their courage.”

Praise for the British uplift:
“I have an endless appetite for the biggest comic mind in the business to offer Alison and Sarin next. Great British bump-offs have all the signature wit,
The energy that makes them very loved. John Allison’s writing is instantly recognized: sharp and funny, crackling every page. Max Sarin’s art pops with characters. That’s joy. As always, I get hooked. I need more. ” – Kate Beaton (duck)
“It’s a perfect parody for the UK’s Bakeoff and Agatha Christie simultaneous pitch, and it’s also one of the funniest titles of 2023. The Great British Clash is a dark, charming, stupid equal measure, and perhaps the only drawback is that we can’t spend more time in the tent with the amateur baker/detective shauna.” – CBR
“Like a great dessert, or murder mystery, the great British clashes are seemingly sweet and addictive.” – AIPT Comics
