The Lengths - A Beautiful Comic

Quirky, uncompromising but ultimately sympathetic take on the life of a male escort

Eddie isn't your typical comic book hero. Sure, he has a double life, but he's struggling to save himself let alone the rest of the world. By night... and day... he's working like a dog, and in between he's trying to manage a new romance with an old friend. But things have changed since they last saw each other at art school two years ago.

What started as a mild flirtation in the gym has transformed Eddie into a sexually adventurous and morally liberated male escort living in a world of sex, drugs and unrequited love.

It's not exactly first date talk.

The Lengths is a new comic from former Brentford resident artist and writer Howard Hardiman. Drawn from extensive interviews with real sex-workers in the city, The Lengths is a quirky, uncompromising but ultimately sympathetic take on the oldest profession in the world. You thought being a male escort is a dog's life? Think again.

The Lengths is available in comics shops across the UK and available from http://www.thelengths.com with new issues released every two months commencing May 18th 2011. Howard can also be followed on twitter @cutebutsad and will be appearing at the London Movies Comics and Magazines Expo at the ExCel Centre from the 26th to the 28th of May
