[edit] Synopsis

The story is a darkly comic satire of British youth culture (with hints towards such films as Natural Born Killers[2]) which revolves round a bookish middle class schoolgirl, who has a bland unexciting life until she meets a strange young boy who convinces her to kill her boyfriend. They then go on the run together for a series of anarchic adventures across Britain.

Meeting up with a group of anarchic travellers in a double-decker bus, the pair indulge in more crime and sexual experimentation before making their way to Blackpool to meet their final fate.

[edit] Other

Kill Your Boyfriend was reprinted in the prestige format (with a spine) in 1998, perhaps as a prelude to Morrison & Bond's then-forthcoming collaboration on The Invisibles Vol. 3.[3][4]
