Now in paperback, this book examines comic publishing and reading in Britain, from the late-Victorian era to the present. Cultural historian James Chapman explores the origins and evolution of these beloved publications, tracing the rise of characters such as lovable rogue Ally Sloper. From the heyday in the 1950s and '60s with titles like Eagle to the controversial era of violent comics in the '70s, including cult favourite 2000AD, and the adult comics boom in the '80s, Chapman covers it all. With insights into genres, creators and readers, he argues that British comics have a distinct identity, reflecting and responding to societal shifts. An essential reference for collectors, this book celebrates the lasting impact of British comics on the imaginative lives of readers young and old.
