    Self Made Hero is one of my favourite UK graphic novel publishers. We've put together a top ten of our favourite of their books. All are currently available at OK Comics...

    1. Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy & Frederick Peeters
    Award winning science fiction story focusing of the social interactions of several different groups of people who are forced to live the whole of their lives in one day.

    2. Hellraisers by Robert Sellars & JAKe
    The life stories of four great actors, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, Richard Harris and Oliver Reed, who only intermittently reached their true potential because of their hell-raising.

    3. Robot by Stanislaw Lem and Andrekj Klimowski & Danusia Schejbal
    Lem was a contemporary of Asmiov but Lem’s robot stories have more feeling to them and are frankly far more interesting because of it.

    4. Fish & Chocolate by Kate Brown
    Three short stories, variations of the theme of relationships between mothers and their children, astoundingly well drawn and full of fantastic imagery.

    5. Castro by Reinhard Kleist
    This book charts the rise of Castro from the Cuban revolution in 1958 through to the brutal dictatorship that Cuba becomes as seen through the eyes of an international photo journalist.

    6. Gonzo by Will Bingley & Anthony Hope-Smith
    Hunter S. Thompson’s life recounted in graphic novel form, focusing on his Fear and Loathing books of the 1970’s and his belief in individual liberty above most other things.

    7. Don Quixote Volume One by Rob Davis
    The first half of an excellent adaptation of the classic post-modern novel, Rob Davis uses the medium of comics to really adapt the text rather than merely illustrate.

    8. Le Morte D’Arthur by Mallory and John Matthews & Will Sweeney
    Based upon the Mallory book from the 1400’s which chronicles the myth of Arthur and the breaking up of the Knights of the Round Table due to the petty rivalries.

    9. Lovecraft Anthology vol 1 by various
    Seven of Lovecraft’s best short stories are adapted by a wide variety of artists. In particular Alice Duke’s suitable horrific artwork for Dagon is incredible.

    10. Hound of the Baskervilles By I N J Culbard
    Excellent, word-perfect adaptation of the best of the Holmes novels, it is both a gothic horror novel and a murder mystery. Holmes versus mythical beasts.
