Abridged 0-52: Contagion

Abridged Commentary 0-52

‘Contagion’… it’s hard to know how to begin commenting on this issue title from the start of 2018, now that the theme has come back to haunt us so enormously. Starting out thinking about touch, this central-point in our ‘Leviathan’ trilogy (between ‘Wormwood’ and ‘Relapse’) is a disorientating candy-coloured-smoke-and-light-show of an issue with one of our favourite cover images. (Another classic A4 landscape that came with various covers by Aaron Hardin, Ellie Davies, Justyna Keilbowicz and Audrey Gillespie.)
