Featuring stirring tales of wartime valour, hilarious sporting yarns and bodice-ripping historical epics by the score, the Big Viz Book of Adventure is a white-knuckle rollercoaster ride that's guaranteed to leave your head spinning and your pants soiled for one reason or another. So, whether you're a fan of football, pirates, commandos, space aliens, big game hunters or topless nuns on skateboards, then this is the book for you. Review: 200+ pages of nostalgia and hilarity! - Ok, being a long-time cheerleader of VIZ, through good times and bad, and knowing its pedigree I thought this latest release was going to be a compendium of newly released material similar to their 1993 "VIZ: The Bumper Book of S***e for Older Boys and Girls". I had ordered the title from desertcart prior to the release of the "products" details (I think - beers consumed *accuracy alert*), given my obsession for toilet jokes and farts, especially from the sanitary Antipodes where VIZ is only known through the existence of "ex-pats"; Geordie ones especially. So when this volume arrived I was a little disappointed for "shilling" out a large amount of money on postage only to discover that the "adventures" have been "ripped" from recent issues of the comic. However, my frown turned upside down quickly when I realised I had a handy compact of Simon Ecob's finest art work in my sweaty palms accompanied by the snappy dialogue of Thorp and Dury (including the recognisable genius of Davy Jones, as well as the echoes of the Donald brothers), some I'd already enjoyed and others that were new to me. For two weeks I laughed out-loud in Australian pubs over old and new strips of boys' own adventure stories re-imaged from the 1950s to the "current age" (whenever that is). The classic Jack Black (Shakespeare's "Silvio" *tears*) takes centre stage, as do the two world wars, but all kinds of offbeat subjects from history are tackled (including piracy and animal poaching). Some stories where football is the thread crop up a few times which makes for repetitive reading but the "in" jokes compensate for the alternative settings. I especially like the careers pages and the "see how it works" type montages as these are extremely cynical (but accurate) takes on what has screwed the world (e.g. builders, policemen, banking and the stock market etc). Overall, this volume got me through the turgid time that is Christmas, and kept me sane when interacting with "in-laws" that I don't know from Adam (and/or Eve). I think the best eulogy I can give to this latest tacky VIZ merchandising activity is from some random Geordie at the Golden Barley Hotel, in Marrickville (NSW/AU) yesterday after I've reached the end (with a few tears streaming down my face). In his incomprehensible accent, he observed me reading this filth and regaled me with an (unverified) story about how he was at a pub in Newcastle (place undisclosed) in the early 1980s to see the launch of The Stone Roses, which this mysterious stranger put down solely to VIZ's patronage and he confirmed that he was a massive VIZ fan (subscription status - unverified). True or not, the anecdote is testament to VIZ's continued popularity, global reach solid fanbase, quality output, and the ongoing need for toilet humour in this dark world. Long live the King! Review: Funny book, came in good condition. - Funny book, if you're a Viz fan then it's well worth being in your collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 620,049 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 770 in Comic Strips 20,575 in General Humour 44,535 in Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 84 Reviews | ## Images ![The Big Viz Book of Adventure - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cOmiL30BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 200+ pages of nostalgia and hilarity! *by D***L on 4 January 2015* Ok, being a long-time cheerleader of VIZ, through good times and bad, and knowing its pedigree I thought this latest release was going to be a compendium of newly released material similar to their 1993 "VIZ: The Bumper Book of S***e for Older Boys and Girls".
