1979 was a year of momentous events. In Britain, it began with the
so-called Winter of Discontent, as rubbish piled high in the
streets and the dead went unburied. Later, guerillas stormed the US
Embassy in Tehran, Margaret Thatcher entered Downing Street, and
Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose while on trial for stabbing
his girlfriend to death. Elsewhere, murderous dictator Saddam
Hussein rose to power in Iraq, America's Three Mile Island nuclear
plant went into meltdown, and there was an anthrax epidemic in
Russia following an accident at a biological weapons plant. But
it's all swings and roundabouts, because 1979 also saw the first
issue of Viz Comic going on sale. And now, with a rousing brass
fanfare to celebrate its 40th year as the country's most flatulent
magazine, Viz is puffing out its cheeks to release its latest
annual - The Trumpeter's Lips. Within the 226 pages of this
lavishly produced hardback you will find the very best bits from
issues 262-271, including * Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the
Sexist, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Roger Mellie, Eight Ace, Buster Gonad,
Big Vern and many, many more * Informative features: Let's Go
Dogging!, Secrets of the White House Shite House, How Did Henry
VIII Mow His Lawn?, Who's Who at a Car Boot Sale, and A Day in the
Life of a Model Railway Enthusiast * Edge-of-your-seat adventures:
In Search of the Giant Squid of Sumatra, The Crown Jewels Mystery,
Wally Walton's Emergency Scorpion Squad and Wall to Wall Carpet
Warehouse, Ballet Nurse on a Pony, Pip of the Peloton, and Bad Bob
the Randy Wonder Dog * More articles, spoof ads, Readers' Letters
and Top Tips than you could shake a really big stick at Just like
our rubbish and dead were piled up in the streets four decades ago,
Viz - The Trumpeter's Lips will be piled up in shops and internet
retailers this Christmas, guaranteeing a "Winter of This Content"
(as specified above) for everyone.
