The Red Road
The Red Road! My first solo comics project was released on the 15th January 2015!
The Red Road
I’ve been interviewed! http://www.brokenfrontier.com/small-press-spotlight-rozi-hathaway/
With three positive reviews, I couldn’t be happier or prouder of my first plunge into self publishing.“Stunningly rendered, and painfully beautiful in its own way, The Red Road is an outstanding debut print offering. Keep your eyes on Rozi Hathaway’s work this year because she’s one of half a dozen or so names I have on my list of self-publishing talents I believe will make the next step up in 2015.”
-Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier – Full review here.
“…Hathaway deserves fulsome praise for delivering something so brutal, so powerful, in such simple terms. This is good comics.”
– Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet – Full review here.
“Overall, The Red Road is a quietly powerful reading experience and a sure-footed debut from Hathaway. There’s more than enough here to get me really excited for whatever she brings out next as I think her ability to depict difficult emotions with a light touch will translate to a variety of projects.”
-Kirsty Hunter, Big Comic Page – Full review here.

HOAX: Psychosis Blues
“There’s one creator I haven’t mentioned yet and that’s newcomer Rozi Hathaway who illustrates the last poem. ‘A Load Lifted’ acts as a coda to HOAX Psychosis Blues and makes touching use of one of its recurring motifs as Rob’s story closes in a moment of final release. It’s a pivotal segment and Hathaway imbues it with a majestic sense of grace and liberation; tragedy evolving into a kind of spiritual emancipation. It’s visual storytelling that is assured in poise and confident in technique – an artist to keep an eye out for I feel.”
– Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier – Full article here.
HOAX: Psychosis Blues is a graphic memoir by Ravi Thornton, telling the story of her brother Rob’s decline into schizophrenia. In an incredibly moving tale, the story is told through chapters and poems, illustrated by ten different artists including Bryan Talbot, Karrie Fransman and Hannah Berry.
Proceeds from HOAX: Psychosis Blues go towards supporting mental health charities (for more information please visit Ziggy’s Wish)
Also available to buy at Page 45, Travelling Man and Gosh! Comics.
