Mauretania Comics and Chris Reynolds at the MetroPoppyfield

"The clean lines of the art and the dreamlike story invest Mauretania with an insidious power."
- Time Out

"Based on the strange attractors of chaos theory."
- Camden New Journal

"Rather like The Prisoner, Chris Reynolds' Mauretania can be interpreted as a conspiracy or an allegory, and its strengths lie in twisting familiar concerns into something sinister."
- Comics International

Chris Reynolds is preoccupied with notions of time and space, and in his unique vision atmosphere is as important as plot progression, time can distort and fuse."
- Speakeasy

Introduction to Chris Reynolds' Mauretania Comics

Mauretania Comics speak of exploring buildings, alone, and finding yourself among secret friends.

And because it's a comic and not a film, the images are static, and accessible for contemplation.

Like a glimpse you might have as a child, of the flavour of a place, now forgotten amongst adult concerns.

And because it's a comic and not a novel, the images are there to see.

Stories about times and places.

Mauretania Comics

"Two of the best examples, Mauretania by Chris Reynolds and Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg, dispense with the pomp and the cliches to conjure lyrical scenes."
- Daily Telegraph

"In Mauretania there is a partial suspension in time, a curious internal logic and a feeling of distant menace."
- Glasgow Herald

"You don't usually find the word 'subtle' used to describe a comic, but it's perfect for Mauretania.
- Fantazia

"The sparse writing style, unique drawings and touch of the absurd which make up the work of Chris Reynolds have led to his being heralded as perhaps the most exciting British talent in comics."
- Northern Events

"These are truly wonderful comics."
