The Burglar Bill Summer Fun Special

Paul Grist's The Burglar Bill Summer Fun Special is a one-shot from Dancing Elephant Press (1996) that delivers exactly what its title promises: a sunny, offbeat caper starring the titular burglar. Grist, the sole writer and artist, brings his signature clean, expressive linework and dry wit to this standalone issue, making it a charming, self-contained slice of British indie comics humor. While it never expanded beyond that single summer outing, it remains a delightful artifact of Grist's early career, showcasing the playful storytelling he'd later refine in Kane and Jack Staff.
