Corbyn: The Resurrection

by Steve Bell

The beginning of the gospel of Jeremiah, as it is written...

Since his unforeseen resurrection from the tepid ashes of the Labour Party in 2015, Jeremy Corbyn has been on a seemingly unstoppable upward trajectory. And one of Britain's best-loved political cartoonists, Steve Bell, has been with him every step of the way.

In Corbyn: The Resurrection, Bell has compiled an unmissable selection of his caustically witty cartoons charting the Labour leader's ascension amid the country's best attempts to tear itself apart. From an unforgettable Star Wars pastiche depicting Jez-Bi-Wan Conorbyn's leadership saga, to Bell's savagely gleeful account of the 2017 snap election and beyond, the result is an endlessly entertaining chronicle of Corbyn's path from the 'unelectable' to 'the prime-minister-in-waiting'.

Reviews

[Andy Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Steve Bell is a brilliant cartoonist and in Corbyn: The Resurrection he charts the rise and rise of the Labour leader amidst Brexit chaos and Tory meltdown. Bell is clearly a supporter of Corbyn and has long been a friend of the left. This collection of his cartoons from the Guardian are often hilarious and never less than cuttingly satirical. A fine read.

Very funny, love the star wars themes all the way through

Despite Bell finding himself unable to depict Corbyn in other than semi-heroic mode, there are enough other targets for Bell to get his bowels into.
