review: Editorial Reviews Review "Whatever your political viewpoint, this is a fantastic slice of contemporary history, told in a really enjoyable and approachable manner. As well as a fantastic lesson in British working class history, this is also a great lesson in how to produce an enjoyable, politically informative graphic novel that appeals to all." - Pipedream Comics "Written by Sean Michael Wilson and illustrated by Robert Brown... The Many Not the Few also has a foreword by Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Hosted at a meeting of the General Federation of Trade Unions, the launch included Corbyn himself who talked about the power this graphic novel would have in changing the lives of people...You can't really look for a better placed promotional soundbite than that for this art form we're all so passionate about! As we all know, comics have an incredible ability as a medium to communicate, educate and inform and this book, subtitled An Illustrated History of Britain Shaped by the People, looks to bring the history of the labour movement from the 14th century to today to whole new audiences." - Broken Frontier About the Author Sean Michael Wilson is a comic book writer from Scotland, who now lives in Japan.
