Stagdale part 3 is available from the Clay Pipe Greedbag shop and The Hardy Tree Bandcamp.
Frances Castle presents the third part of her graphic novel Stagdale, accompanied by a new soundtrack EP from her musical alter ego The Hardy Tree.
Stagdale Part 3, drawn and written by
Clay Pipe Music founder Frances Castle, continues the story of Kathy
and Max—two strangers, a generation apart, who both unexpectedly
find themselves living in the isolated village of Stagdale.
When twelve-year-old Kathy discovers a wartime
diary hidden behind the skirting board of the old cottage she and her
mother are renting, she is instantly captivated. As she delves into
its pages, she begins to suspect that the tale of the missing Stag
Jewel - told to her by her new friend Joe - isn't quite what it
seems. Could the diary hold the key to unravelling a mystery that's
been buried for 30 years?
A special edition of the book will include a Flexi Disc featuring the title track “September 1975.” There will also be a limited reissue of the original Flexi Disc editions from Books 1 & 2. Additionally, Book 2 has been reprinted with a matt cover, so all three books in the series now have a more cohesive look.
Also available from Greedbag on the 29th November will be coaster sets based on the artwork for Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman's Ash Grey And The Gull Glides On and Risograph prints of The Hardy Tree's All the Hours.
