Viz Annual by Viz Magazine

Viz Annual by Viz Magazine

2016 is set to go down in history as the year that Viz released another annual. The Bookie's Pencil, is a magnificent collection of the best strips, features, spoof ads and stories from the nation's favourite humour mag. Editor Hampton Doubleday has taken issues 232-241 and discarded all the dross, leaving just the cream for his readers to savour.

"Viz, The Bookie’s Pencil is my tip for this yearIt’s the odds-on favourite to romp home by a head in this year’s best seller stakes. -- John McCririck

Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Viz’s own dictionary of slang, Roger’s Profanisaurus.

Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (“the Man on the Telly”) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Viz’s unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comic’s self-effacing slogan that ‘it’s not as funny as it used to be’, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
