The new Viz Annual arrives

For those of you who miss the days of 160 page British annuals on pulpy paper with many strips in black and white, or if you just want a good laugh, you'll be pleased to know that the new Viz annual, The Cleveland Steamer, in out now.

The large format hardback collects selected strips and features from Viz Nos.182 to 191 including favourites such as The Fat Slags, Drunken Bakers, Roger Mellie, Biffa Bacon, Eight Ace and others along with one-off strips such as Davy Jones' excellent spoof of old UK adventure strips with The Clockwork Mountie Grand Prix Boxing Jungle Boy of the Foreign Legion.

Contributors include Simon Thorp (once again providing an excellent cover), Graham Dury, Christina Martin and James MacDougall, Paul Palmer, Barney Farmer and Lee Healey and many more. There's also a couple of pages by me featuring Felix and his Amazing Underpants...


...and The Pathetic Sharks...


For traditional comic fun with an adult twist, Viz: The Cleveland Steamer is on sale now at £10.99.
