About the series
John Allison’s Bad Machinery (2013–2017, Oni Press) follows a gang of British schoolkids who solve supernatural mysteries in the town of Tackleford, blending sharp humor with genuine suspense over seven issues. Allison, who both wrote and drew the entire run, brought his signature wit and expressive cartooning to a series that feels like a modern, YA-friendly twist on classic adventure comics. It matters as a standout example of creator-owned, character-driven storytelling that balances the weird and the everyday.
