Horny & High Vol. 1

"Beautiful and very special, a very unique style. Sexy, sad, a melancholic mood... the story is very internal, it tells a truth only the gut understands"
~ Ralf König

"Undeniably compelling... visually stunning. The strength here is that these tales don’t wallow in their dank milieu, as dark as things get there is a yearning for light." ~ The Queer Review

"An eyepopping account of a chemsex session... a model of graphic short story composition in what promises to be a bold collection of interconnected queer stories. We loved the style, observation of and sympathy for his characters - it was touching, engaging, funny, and deadly serious, and took us into new territories."
~ Myriad Editions First Graphic Novel Competition 2020

"Firth constructs an elaborate character study that is all the more impressive for how little he actually needs to reveal about the cast. It’s all there though in the body language and the bantering interactions of the assorted players... But the great strength of ‘Chillout’ is that Firth ensures our sympathy with this small group of perhaps damaged and self-destructive but ultimately fragile and very human characters, despite their recklessness and sometimes limited empathy."
~ Broken Frontier

“It's always exciting when a talented illustrator develops into a complete auteur with their own story and voice… with the three tales in 'Horny & High' he arrives as a confident comics creator, sharing his intimate, frank perspective on desires and delusions. No wonder he was short-listed for this year's Myriad Editions First Graphic Novel Prize. Discover him for yourself.”
~ Paul Gravett, Comica, Author of Graphic Novels: Stories To Change Your Life
