This is a powerful and darkly humorous graphic polemic by a leading British comics artist that investigates our increasingly dangerous relationship with cars. If you want to get away with murder, buy a car. Combining autobiography, statistics, case histories, advertising and reportage, Woodrow Phoenix draws a compelling picture of the warped psychology behind our need for speed.
"Every so often a book like this comes along, one which allows fresh vision, even a change of mindset. Brilliant...a crucial revelation." - ALI SMITH"
