Follow Me In
248 pages by Katriona Chapman
Launching September 2018

Kat had no responsibilities and nothing to tie her down. But she had graduated
university with no plans. She was an artist who hadn’t drawn in five years.
She was lost.
What’s more, she’d been avoiding admitting to herself something that
all of those around her knew; that her boyfriend, Richard, had some
serious problems with alcohol.
Looking for a fresh start, the two of them quit their jobs and embarked
on a journey to Mexico for what what they expected to be an adventure of a
lifetime. It led to experiences that changed both of their lives and to Kat rediscovering a love of art, a lifelong attachment to Mexico and the strength to move on.
The debut graphic novel from Katriona Chapman is a beautifully illustrated
recounting of a trip she made around Mexico back in 2003, interspersed
with pages of her sketchbook from that time, as well as explorations of the cultural and bio-diversity of Mexico and its fascinating history. Follow Me In is part memoir, part coming of age story, part love letter to Mexico and is undoubtedly a major work from one of the best illustrators and comics makers in the UK.
