Herve Bourhis
A colorful coffee table book focused on English pop culture since 1962 when the country began its revolution! Because it was in 1962, 60 years ago, that the ‘ole Albion, that of the monarchy, tea and crumpets and bowler hats took a resolutely modern turn, thanks to a sexy secret agent, a band from Liverpool, and a mini (skirt and car). From the eccentric to the ultra-conservative, from James Bond to AstraZeneca, from Bowie to Banksy, including After Eight and the Teletubbies, year after year, all things Brit are covered!
REVIEWS:
"The British are coming, again, thanks to graphic novelist Hervé Bourhis."
- John Freeman, downthetubes.net
" A fabulously eclectic years-by-year catalogue of events, achievements, style-&-fashion forays, music-&-movie moments, and less definable landmarks."
- Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
"It's a fun book."
- Andrew Wheeler, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.
"I like the fact that it's all art and not photos, which gives it more of a "fan-made" feel."
- Sheena McNeil, Sequential Tart
"It makes for a perfect gift for Anglophiles, as well as anyone interested in the history of a country that once ruled much of the world."
- Lindsay Pereira, Broken Frontier
"A fascinating, fun, informative, and nostalgic read from cover to cover."
- James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
"You can open it to any page and find something interesting to read, but it will never strain your brain or make you feel like you’re having a nightmare flashback to your high school World History class."

- The Fiction Addiction
