Description

Giles enthusiasts will be thrilled with this latest collection of classic cartoons.

Capturing Giles's trademark style and British humour, the 2023 annual takes a look at family scenes throughout the 50-year career of the cartoonist.

Giles also brilliantly details those scenes involving the iconic family of the charismatic matriarch and the tearaway kids as they react and parody the news of the day. These are timeless scenes that all families can recognise and identify with.

Fans of Giles will be delighted to receive the latest annual compilation featuring 150 cartoons to enjoy from the archives of one of the most celebrated cartoonists of the once biggest selling daily newspaper in the world, the Daily Express, whose work led to him being voted the best cartoonist of the 20th century.

Carl Giles was born in Islington, North London, on 29 September 1916. After leaving school at fourteen, he initially trained in animation before moving into cartoons, when working for Reynolds News. In 1943 Giles moved to the Sunday Express and Daily Express, eventually replacing Strube and becoming the Daily Express "War Correspondent Cartoonist" with the 2nd Army in 1945.

Best known for his Express "family", his cartoons had enormous popular appeal and in 1959 he was awarded an OBE. Giles left the Daily Express in 1989 but continued working for the Sunday Express until 1991. He died in 1995.
