The Most Important Comic Book on Earth - Rewriting Extinction

Presented by Rewriting Extinction, this book represents a global campaign to raise money and awareness for the climate and the biodiversity crises.

It is very much a group effort with all the proceeds going towards the seven partner projects including Greenpeace, the World Land Trust and Born Free Reserva. The graphics are colourful, lively and contemporary with contributions from more than 300 leading environmentalists like George Monbiot, leading illustrators like David Mack, actors like Dame Judi Dench and film makers like Richard Curtiss. There are 120 stories, some very serious, some funny. We loved the Saolas deer cartoon where in spite of there being only two Saolas left on earth, the female decided she would continue to explore her options.

Serious pieces include one from Sir Nicholas Stern on the global impact of the loss of Indonesia’s forests and peatlands.

This is a book to dip into, to learn from, to enjoy the powerful illustrations and to share with as many people as possible.
