Gigs replaced jobs. Ordinary people are left to scrape together lives in a world that's no longer built for them. These are their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a frighteningly near future where Basic Income is supplemented by gig work assigned by “the app”…an octogenarian punk and a lonely young worker seek escape through music. A street artist makes art by night and paints over it by day. A has-been detective chases a case into a forgotten world. A drug runner makes a long, strange delivery. A writer marks her days on a decaying space station she can’t leave. And a refugee asks for help in the last free place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a hard-won blend of biting satire and humanistic passion, two creators from the North of England weave together six divergent chapters into an extraordinary graphic novel. Gigs is both a powerful warning about the oppressive world to come and a defiant celebration of the humanity that will sprout up in the cracks.\u003cbr\u003e“A sharp, funny look at where the future’s heading and what we can do about it. Emotive, thought-provoking, beautifully drawn and written with wit, this is the sort of science-fiction we need more of.”\u003cbr\u003e— Adrian Tchaikovsky\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of the Hugo Award–winning Children of Time series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Top Shelf Productions\u003cbr\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ June 16, 2026\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ 276 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1603095934\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1603095938\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.69 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.88 x 0.79 x 9.5 inches \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IMAGE COMICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44269580615860,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0354\/1391\/7755\/files\/81gOuGETGaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1783986015","url":"https:\/\/comicopolis.myshopify.com\/products\/gigs","provider":"Comicopolis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
