Since 2010, the number of people sleeping rough in the UK has risen by 169%. Huge cuts to housing benefit and welfare reform are partly to blame. And so is the dire lack of affordable housing. Returning to the origins of Monopoly in a game intended to demonstrate the perils of landlordism, ‘Do not pass GO’ plots some of the key developments that turned what had been resources for meeting a fundamental human need into an asset class, alongside other alternative investments like derivatives and crypto-currencies.

Ryan Prout

With Jonathan Clode, Ryan Prout is one of the originators of the All is Not Well project. He has enjoyed reading comics for as long as he can remember. He began using graphic novels in his teaching in the 2000s when comics crossed over into the human interest section of the Spanish press and literary scene. He has written about sequential art by creators including Paco Roca, Miguel Gallardo, Bef (Bernardo Fernández), and Francisco Ibáñez. ‘Loss of Habitat’ is one of his first forays into writing for comics. He is still learning about how to create dialogue for sequential art.

Gayle Rogers

I draw cartoons, narrative art & illustrations & manage the small but fierce Workers Gallery in Ynyshir, South Wales. Much of my work is politically engaged or is visual social commentary which I share via twitter as @artgayle. My long-term projects engage with scholarly research particularly in the fields of commemoration and football history, where I use drawing as a tool to translate academic research into a more accessible form. My current specialism is the commemoration of the 1958 Munich Air Disaster and Duncan Edwards- England and Manchester United footballer which I tweet about @1958Munich
