A Short History of the Apocalypse

Pre-order A Short History of the Apocalypse - out 7th November 2024

A Short History of the Apocalypse is your comprehensive guide to the challenges presented by Armageddon. Join Frankie Boyle (Saturday Night Swindle; Celebrity Vengeance) and Charlie Skelton (head writer: Ad Naseum; David Suchet's News Sachet) as they debrief time traveller and bon vivant from the late 21st Century, Alonso Lampe.

How do you go about joining a militia? What will life be like in a billionaire's bunker? How will people entertain themselves in re-education camps? All these questions will be answered in several different, often contradictory, ways.

With exclusive illustrations by Hall of Fame comic artist Frank Quitely, A Short History of the Apocalypse is vital to your future survival.
