Goatherded

In Goatherded (2017–present, Avery Hill Publishing), a single-issue comic from the British small-press scene, the story follows a solitary goatherd whose quiet life in the hills is disrupted by a mysterious, otherworldly phenomenon. With a gentle, atmospheric tone and understated art, creator Gareth A. Hopkins crafts a contemplative tale of isolation and the strangeness that can creep into everyday routines. Though brief, this debut issue marks a distinctive entry in Avery Hill’s catalog of thoughtful, slice-of-life comics.
