BILLY, the ground-breaking biography of the nation's favourite
iconoclast, gave millions of readers a fascinating insight into the
personal and professional life of the genius that is Billy
Connolly. Then, in the sequel to that bestselling book, the
award-winning Pamela Stephenson celebrated life with the Scottish
beastie as he hit the big six-oh. In it we relive colourful and
epic moments from Billy's early life in Glasgow - the background to
an intimate portrait of his marriage with Pamela and his life in
Scotland, LA and the rest of the world. Witty, insightful and
intimate, BRAVEMOUTH draws the reader into two very different
worlds - hers of international sexology and the serious psychology
of humorists, his of incontinence pants, being married to a
shrink... and the finer points of banjo playing.
'Who is the real Billy Connolly?' He's the man who needs no introduction, and yet he is the ultimate enigma. From a troubled and desperately poor childhood in the docklands of Glasgow he is now the intimate of household names the world over. But who is the man behind the myth? 'If anyone knows Billy Connolly better than himself, it's his wife, Pamela Stephenson.' In this extraordinary book, she combines the very personal with the very frank objectivity that makes for a compellingly moving – yet hugely entertaining – biography. ''This' is the real Billy Connolly'

He collects all the nuclear warheads from the world and throws them into space. Meanwhile, Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), has broken out of prison with a new scheme. He clones Superman with radioactive material to create Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow), a being just as powerful as the man of steel.

Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is engaged to a relative of his boss (James Marsden), and to make matters worse, his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has contrived a plot to build a continent using the crystals of Krypton that will wipe out most of North America. Superman must again race against time to stop the psychopathic Luthor before it's too late.
