Burglar Bill

Paul Grist's Burglar Bill, launched in 1986 by Dancing Elephant Press, is a single-issue comic that introduces a hapless, cat-burglar protagonist navigating a world of slapstick crime and quiet absurdity. Written and drawn entirely by Grist, this slim volume stands as an early, charming example of his distinctive, minimalist cartooning style. Though brief, it's a notable artifact from the British small-press scene, showcasing the dry wit and clean linework that would later define Grist's longer-running work.
