About this title

From the Publisher:

"George Khoury’s True Brit is at once a passport and the perfect travel-guide to the marvellous lost continent of the British comic. For both those who didn’t realise that they did comics on this side of the Atlantic, and those seasoned know-alls who can already tell their Dudley Watkins from their Paddy Brennan, this book is a treasure-trove of rare art, interviews and information, illuminating a hidden and unsuspected world of wonders. " Alan Moore

From the Author:

"True Brit was an idea which had been brewing in my head for a bloody long time. There have been various articles and occasional magazine issues, here and there, devoted to comics' "British Invasion,"but I wanted to paint a more complete picture, one that was inviting, attractive, accessible to readers, both new and old. This is an in-depth book that studies the roots of British comics... Within this book are interviews and profiles of, in my opinion, the best British artists to have drawn a comic book. Each and every one of the 21 artists is someone of quality and someone I respect, for who they are and the work they've done throughout each respective career. Without any hesitation, I can say that this is easily the most important book of the few I've produced." George Khoury, Comic Book Artist magazine (2004)
