They say every cat has nine lives, and Jim the dysfunctional cat is no exception. Steven Appleby's new book tells the story of one very challenged cat and of the trials and tribulations of living with him. Based on many years spent observing and despairing at the real Jim, the book concentrates on each of Jim's lives in nine gruesome chapters. It also explores the unfathomable nature of cats in general and the trauma of sharing your life with them. Cat lovers will be charmed. Cat haters will have all their suspicions confirmed. WARNING! Jim is not a cat for the squeamish or those of a weak constitution.

'A superhero like none you've seen before. Thrilling' IAN RANKIN*A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR*A delightfully witty and exciting graphic novel by one of Britain's favourite artistsDragman tells the story of August Crimp, a man who has superpowers when he puts on women's clothes. August loves wearing a dress but is deeply ashamed of his compulsion and terrified of rejection should it ever come out. So he tells no one. Not even his wife. But then one day a little girl falls from the rooftop cafe at the Art Museum and August has no choice but to fly and save her - an event witnessed by hundreds of people. And August Crimp's life is never the same again.Dragman is Steven Appleby's first long-form graphic thriller. Inspired by the superhero comics he read as a child and informed by his own secret life as a transvestite, Steven Appleby has created a multi-layered, tightly plotted, cleverly structured novel with a compulsive forward drive in which August battles greed, evil and his own self-doubt in a fight to save himself, his marriage - and the human soul. A real page-turner, Dragman brims with humanity, subtlety and wit - plus plenty of Steven Appleby's oblique and absurdly imaginative musings on 'what is life really all about?'Fans of Steven Appleby's unmistakable drawing style, as seen in his many books and in comic strips such as Captain Star (NME, Observer), Small Birds Singing (The Times), and Loomus (Guardian), will not be disappointed.

All twelve episodes of the absurdist series based on Steven Appleby’s comic strip – plus a Christmas Special

''No one is more talented or original'' Richard Ingrams, Spectator

Cartoonist Steven Appleby asks where reality ends and fantasy begins, as he gives us his distinctly abnormal insights into everyday life. In these two series, he takes a look at a few of life’s fundamental topics, including Love, Death, Science, Truth and Oceanography.

From seeking romance when his wife elopes with the electric kettle to searching for the hidden meaning of life, said to be written on a sausage, he takes us on a personal journey through his memories, experiences, dreams and fantasies to reveal his own idiosyncratic version of normality.

Along the way, he discovers that his kids are actually alien tourists visiting Earth on a rowdy package holiday; signs a pact with the Devil to to reverse the ageing process (and look more like Richard Burton), undergoes surgery to explore his brain’s inner workings; and proves once and for all that dinosaurs could read, write and ride bicycles. But will his attempts to tell the absolute truth prove to be a less-than-wise career move?

Also included is a festive special episode, Steven Appleby’s Normal Christmas, in which Steven meets Santa and learns that Christmas isn’t just about receiving...

Paul McCrink and Mark Perry star as Steven, with Steven Appleby as himself and Rachel Atkins, Ewan Bailey, Nigel Betts and Rosalind Paul as the figments of his imagination.

Tillfälligt slut

Steven writes: 'This book is intended as a companion to the BBC Radio 4 series Steven Appleby's Normal Life, in which I attempt to set the record straight concerning a small part of my personal history. 'I am not arrogant enough to believe that I am special, or unique. I know that all the events I describe on radio and in this book are happening all over the world to ordinary people, all of the time. It is no joke to be pursued by Death riding a bicycle, or to discover that your children are aliens, so if the same thing happens to you I hope this book is of some comfort. You are not the only one. 'I hereby warrant that everything appearing in this book and on the radio is true.'
