Hark! A Vagrant Books in Order

Historical figures and literary characters collide with modern attitudes in this collection of satirical comics. From composers and monarchs to fictional detectives and superheroes, Beaton reimagines familiar cultural stories through irreverent conversations and unexpected points of view.

These satirical comics recast historical, literary and contemporary figures in sharply comic situations. Heroes, scientists, generals and fictional characters reveal their absurdities through modern dialogue, as Beaton questions familiar assumptions about power, gender and cultural memory.
