About the event

Chris Shepherd | Anfield Road
Set in the late '80s in Liverpool, Anfield Road is Chris Shepherd's debut graphic novel. It follows Conor, a 17-year-old living by the football stadium, dreaming of art college, and escaping his wild family. His nan rules the roost, while his dad is off stealing ice cream vans. The novel explores family, first love, and finding one's way. Chris captures the beauty and grit of Liverpool, making it a heartfelt time machine to a beloved era. Anfield Road blends heartfelt narratives with vivid illustrations. Readers will appreciate the engaging storyline and rich character development. Illustrators will admire Chris's meticulous technique and dedication, evident in the detailed artwork that brings the story and setting to life. Chris Shepherd took four years to complete the illustrations. If you love a laugh, a tear, and northern soul, this one's for you.



Chris Shepherd is a versatile artist, writer, and filmmaker known for his dark humour and social commentary.
