Columnists said Theresa Mays snap general election wouldnt just return her a thumping majority in the House of Commons it would plunge the opposition into existential crisis. For Labour MPs, concerns about job security in an age of zero-hours contracts suddenly felt uncomfortably close to home. And then something happened. Momentum got to work. Grime4Corbyn gathered steam. Clicktivists were transformed into door-knocking, flag-waving activists.

All this while Theresa turned Maybot and the Conservatives released a manifesto that looked bad for people and even worse for animals. Featuring work by many of the UKs best-known cartoonists, including Martin Rowson, Steve Bell and Stephen Collins, The Corbyn Comic Book captures the qualities, quirks and flaws of a man whose startling rise to prominence has been the defining story of 2017. He didnt win, but he did cause a political earthquake. Corbynmania is a thing now and so is Comix4Corbyn. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Franc, Alexandre (illustrator). In December 1926, renowned crime novelist Agatha Christie vanished, sending shockwaves through British society. As the authorities scoured the country for her, theories and suspicions abounded: it was murder, a hoax, suicide, a publicity stunt, revenge. When she was finally located ten days later, living under an assumed name in a hotel in Harrogate she returned to normal life, refusing to explain what had happened. Despite Christies reputation for final act revelations, this episode of her life would be forever shrouded in mystery. In their intriguing graphic novel Agatha, Anne Martinetti, Guillaume Lebeau and Alexandre Franc use Christies enigmatic disappearance as a gateway to explore the life and character of the Queen of the Whodunit. Taking in her childhood in Torquay and her early attempts at writing, the authors chart Christies development into a free-spirited and thoroughly modern woman who, among other things, enjoyed flying, travel and surfing. As her memorable characters take on case after case, we come to understand the events that inspired their adventures and made Christie the person she became. While her hugely successful career will be well known to many readers, this landmark graphic biography also delves into the detail of Christies disappointments and personal difficulties in a way that paints the writer as a real person funny, fallible and full of life. Spanning marriages and wars by way of archaeology and infidelities, Agatha: The Real Life of Agatha Christie is an entertaining and dramatic portrait of the 20th centurys best-loved crime writer, showing her triumphs, her failures and her increasingly fractious relationship with the one man she could never get the better of her most famous creation, the fastidious Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Which kings couldn't speak English, or stammered when they could? Who were "Softsword" and "Sailor Bill"? Which king had 10 children with his mistress but none with his queen? Which kings were crowned twice? Which queen reigned for only 9 days? Which king disappeared?

This single-sheet poster-sized booklet unfolds the politics, passions, and pageantry of the English and later British Royal Family, from 871 to 2023: the tyrants, eccentrics, warriors, and murderers, as well as the saints, scholars, patrons, and philosophers, whose joint story this is. Or, rather, their joined-up history, as the graphic artwork on the back illustrates, showing the complete Family Tree of the families and dynasties of our island story. The story of the British Royal Family over a thousand years, the reigns of every monarch sketched in a sharp, funny, and useful vignette of words and pictures with a full Family Tree on the back.
