Everyone knows Gilbert and Sullivan were peerless as composers of light opera. But fewer people are aware of their dual identities as super-powered, dapper defenders of the realm! How else could they have come up with the inspiration for The Pirates of Penzance?

Winner of the International Manga and Anime Festival “Best Comic” category, and lovingly created by the first ever female Beano artist Laura Howell, The Bizarre Adventures Of Gilbert & Sullivan is the comical companion of choice for ladies, gentlemen and urchins alike!

This collection is highly readable while retaining the articulation, intelligence and playfulness that distinguished the work of Arthur Sullivan and W.S Gilbert. Based on historical facts and characters, including Oscar Wilde and Mad King Ludwig, Laura Howell conjures a delightful collection of madcap, topsy-turvy stories set in an unpredictable Victorian England.
