Comic Book Punks - How a...

Karl Stock

The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from little-regarded kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early 'seventies to be a global cultural pivot-point, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story. 
 
 
 
Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics. 
 
 
 
Stock brilliantly tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for.

From The Norman Conquest To The...

Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett

The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
Covers: 
William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
Stephen. 
Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
