- Book Synopsis
- A hilarious full-colour comic book by the award-winning Tor Freeman. 'Boss of the Underworld is one of the funniest books I've read this year, maybe this lifetime, and I'm not even exaggerating. It's INCREDIBLE.' Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey Join Shirley and her giant cockroach friend, George, on a strange adventure through the Underworld. Will they triumph over scary foes, resist eating delicious things in the forest, navigate the Bog of Intense Emotions, and find their way into the dark sewers to confront the Green Menace?? There are many ways into the Underworld... but only one way out! Fast-paced, funny and accessible, this comic book series is fizzing with charm and energy. Praise for Boss of the Underworld: 'Genuinely laugh out loud funny' Louie Stowell 'This is very funny - and more crucially, it's weird' Cariad Lloyd 'Out of this underworld!' Steven Lenton 'A tour de force of silliness' Gary Northfield
