HAPPY HOUR (2020)

"First issue! In future America, being happy isn't just a right-it's the law. While the Joy Police brutally enforce the cheery code, two young people go on the run, searching for a haven of melancholy where they can safely bask in the blues. A timely tale by superstar writer Peter Milligan (X-Statix, The Prisoner) and artist Michael Montenat (Dominion, Hellraiser Annual). All AHOY titles feature extras: prose, pictures, and, perhaps, poems! "

"Electric Funny Sticks! Bloodsucking Joy Leeches! The cuddly horrors of Puppy Treatment! These and other state-enforced 'remedies' for unhappiness drive Jerry and Kim to escape the Readjustment Center in the world's most depressing clown car! Plus extra prose stories and illustrations."

n a near-future America where unhappiness is a crime, paranoia poisons the relationship between fugitives Jerry and Kim at exactly the wrong time: they're abducted by a town that's throwing a pageant to celebrate joy, with their slow execution as the weekend's entertainment! Plus the usual AHOY assortment of illustrated prose stories.

In a near-future America where sadness is illegal and punishment is extreme, rebel fugitives Kim and Jerry start to succumb to the irresistible stirrings of romance and - to their horror - happiness! Extra: the best short prose stories and illustrations in all of comics!

Having fled the USA's regime of brutally enforced bliss, Kim and Jerry are prisoners of the revolutionary pro-misery cell they sought to join. The first step to acceptance: survive a swarm of Joysuckers, razor-toothed vermin specifically bred to sniff out happiness! Plus the usual AHOY illustrated prose features.

"Lachrymose last issue! In the near-future America where sadness is illegal, the odyssey of miserabilist fugitives Jerry and Kim comes to an off-beat end. Plus, forlorn fiction and dejected drawings in the AHOY manner."
