First instalment of David Gedge’s long-awaited ‘memoir-in-comic-book-form’.
The stories included in this stunning 176-page matt-laminated hardback book have previously only been seen by readers of the ‘Tales From The Wedding Present’ comic book series. This collected edition, however, comes with forty pages of never-before-seen additional material, an introduction by author Ian Rankin, and many other additional features.
The book was written by David [together with long-time musical associate Terry de Castro] and illustrated by virtuoso artist Lee Thacker. The three of them have been working steadily – with editing help from Jessica McMillan – relating David’s life and adventures, for the last decade.
With nineteen comics published to date, ‘Go Out And Get ’Em, Boy!’ is the first compilation of the tales. It’s in chronological order, beginning with David’s childhood in England and South Africa, and continues up to the birth of The Wedding Present. On the way we learn about some of the romantic experiences that may have informed his writing, how he first met his hero – the legendary BBC presenter John Peel – and the true story behind the classic Wedding Present song ‘My Favourite Dress’.
