The Wellington Comic Lover's Guide to... the Bobbinsverse

Welcome to the Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide, where we take you through the Wellington City Libraries’ collection of a comic book character or series. This guide is all about the sprawling webcomic-turned-print comic universe, the Bobbinsverse!

The Bobbinsverse encompasses several comics that all take place in the same universe, centered around a fictional Yorkshire town called Tackleford. Written and drawn by John Allison, these comics are either slice-of-life stories or supernatural mysteries, all told with a trademark light-hearted tone.
