review:
'The Treasury of British Comics Presents: The Tom Paterson Collection' edited by Keith Richardson with reprints by Tom Paterson is a graphic novel tribute collecting comics from one of the most influential cartoonists in British comics.

Collecting comics from the 1970s in to the late 1980s from titles like Buster, Whoopee! and Oink! this is a nice collection of some of the wackiest art I've seen. With characters like Sweeney Toddler and Calamity James. There are superheroes in cat suits, monsters who get foiled and a malicious toddler.

As someone who grew up in the US, I remember hearing about some of these comics, but had no exposure to them. These sugar filled explosions of mayhem are so imaginative and sometimes gross that I couldn't tear my eyes away. I had a lot of fun reading this along with the tributes from some of the writers that worked with Tom Paterson along the way.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Rebellion, 2000 AD, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
