Discover the truth behind the headlines with this collection of Private Eye’s popular reportage column Scene & Heard, including previously unseen sketches and reports.
David Ziggy Greene travels the country asking questions and sketching scenes of modern life. His detailed, funny, astute works of graphic reportage – at protests and festivals, cycle rides, farms and prisons – reveal the human cost of policy and the profound local impact of legislation. This new collection of columns also contains much brand new material – including a series of insightful sketches of human hubs such as A&E, the tube and the courts.
With a foreword by Mark Thomas.
