Today's lecture: Great British Comics

You may have fond memories of reading them as a child, but British comics have constantly mirrored the spirit of the nation. Today, comics can be collectable, valuable, educational, inspirational and are winning literary acclaim as graphic novels. From Rupert to Raymond Briggs, from Desperate Dan to Judge Dredd, discover how favourites old and new have reflected our foibles, fears and fantasies.
Paul Gravett is a Comics Historian, the author of Great British Comics and Director of the Comica Festival at the ICA, October 2007 (www.paulgravett.com)
