In 1999, amidst the looming Y2K crash, Jet is just trying to get through high school. On top of this, Jet also begins to notice that they don’t feel like the other girls in their class. As new feelings start to emerge, Jet slowly begins to realise that they may be more of a boy than the girl people assume they are. Is that even possible? And who do they talk to about these feelings when there’s barely any internet?
This coming-of gender graphic novel debut from trans creator Joris Bas Backer is an enlightening and hilarious tale that casts light on what it was like to be transgender before information was accessible and widespread.
Joris Bas Backer grew up in The Hague, Bucharest, New York and in an uninviting Dutch city called Oegstgeest. His work deals with the topics of longing, identity, gender dysphoria and gender roles. Joris now lives in Berlin and works independently as an artist, comic artist and illustrator.

Scrappy young Jimmy is a pro wrestler in the making, and he’s up for taking on anyone and anything. From his own family, his schoolwork, wild animals and pirates, he’s challenging the world one small fight at a time, but can his hopes and dreams take him all the way to stellar success? Or will his fists finally get him into too much trouble?
Debut creator Lara Kaminoff's graphic novel about the human spirit is funny and touching, with anti-hero Jimmy wrestling his way into your heart and changing your outlook on the fighting spirit within all of us.
Lara Kaminoff is a cartoonist and book-slinger living in Seattle with her beloved and their cat, Creeper. She’s inspired by an endless parade of podcasts, the magical world of fungi, brilliant friends, climbable trees, and danceable floors. Right now she’s probably talking too fast, thinking too hard or trying to fix something that ain’t broke.

INTRODUCING TWENTY SEVEN
Twenty Seven is a bold, new literary list to celebrate experimental writing in fiction and non fiction. It will launch in 2021 to champion breakthrough voices who have something important to say or a brilliant story to tell. This new list will appeal to a contemporary readership who want to read surprising, provocative and inspiring books. Nobrow has an established visual aesthetic in illustrated books and we’re excited to bring this to the form of the novel by merging with authors who love to experiment with the form of the content.
Twenty Seven’s aim is to become home to the next great writing heroes who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, and find their feet with an independent publisher not afraid to take a risk. Our small and curated list will grab readers and champion dynamic fiction and non-fiction writing.
