Author Description

Escape from St Hell is the life-affirming sequel to the Eisner Award-nominated graphic memoir, Welcome to St Hell, by author, illustrator and filmmaker, Lewis Hancox. We re-join Lewis on his transition journey as he leaves his small Northern hometown for university, and starts picking his way through life as an adult, beset with hilarious awkwardness, plaid shirts, and a second puberty. With the guidance and wisdom from his future self, Lewis navigates what it takes to become the man he wants to be – from his first chin hair to his first bromance. This funny and honest personal story shows what it truly means to find self-acceptance (and the perfect meltdown soundtrack).
