Viz Annual 2022: The Copper's Torch : A casebook of dazzling flashes of brilliance from issues 282-291

The last 12 months have been the strangest anyone can remember; all our lives have been turned upside down.

We were unable to meet and hold our loved ones. Our right to travel at home and abroad was suspended.

The contestants on University Challenge had plastic screens between them.  But it’s comforting to know that amid all the turmoil, some things remained unchanged. And Viz Comic was one of them. And we’re determined to bring normality back to all our lives with this, our brand new annual.

Viz Comic - The Copper’s Torch is the same hefty 226 pages as its predecessors have been for many years.

Not only that, but the price remains the same at a paltry £12.99. And to further add to the sense of normality, the book is packed full of all the usual stuff, including… •Action packed adventure: The 999 Emergency Bomb Squad, The Adventures of Robin of Sherwood, and high-octane thrills with The Topless Speed Freaks. •Informative features: Everything you need to know about Dragons, the blood and guts story of the Colosseum, the toileting facilities of the Tour de France, and the horror of what happens when pets go big. •Letterbocks, Top Tips, Roger’s Profanisaurus and all your favourite cartoon characters. So this Christmas, let The Copper’s Torch shine a warming light of happiness and hope into your life, or at least into the life of someone in the tricky £10- £15 present bracket.
