Leo Schulz ha dedicato gran parte della sua vita adulta all'esplorazione delle donne, delle droghe e dei bar dell'East End di Londra. La sua opera cattura la cruda realtà della vita ai margini della società, addentrandosi negli angoli più oscuri della psiche umana e dell'esclusione sociale. Lo stile di Schulz è diretto e senza compromessi, caratterizzato da un linguaggio crudo e dialoghi autentici che immergono il lettore nel cupo mondo dei suoi personaggi. I suoi scritti fungono da meditazione sulla ricerca di connessione e fuga in un ambiente che offre poca speranza.

The story of the British Royal Family over a thousand years, the reigns of every monarch sketched in a sharp, funny, and useful vignette of words and pictures--with a full family tree on the back Which kings couldn't speak English, or stammered when they could? Who were "Softsword" and "Sailor Bill"? Which king had 10 children with his mistress but none with his queen? Which kings were crowned twice? Which queen reigned for only nine days? Which king disappeared? Here is a comic strip with a difference, an alternative (and funnier) Bayeux Tapestry tracing every king and queen from Alfred the Great to Charles III--each of their vivid pen-and-ink-portraits encapsulating the personal quirks and dramatic social change of their reigns. This single-sheet poster-sized booklet unfolds the politics, passions, and pageantry of the English and later British Royal Family, from 871 to 2023: the tyrants, eccentrics, warriors, and murderers, as well as the saints, scholars, patrons, and philosophers, whose joint story this is. Or, rather, their joined-up history, as the graphic artwork on the back illustrates, showing the complete family tree of the families and dynasties of our island story.
