The last 12 months have been the strangest anyone can remember; all our lives have been turned upside down. We were unable to meet and hold our loved ones. Our right to travel at home and abroad was suspended. The contestants on University Challenge had plastic screens between them. This last year has been one of great turmoil as wars, epidemics and extreme climate events have ravaged the globe. Sometimes it has felt as if the old certainties that have shored up our worldview for so long are being swept away in an unstoppable torrent of disaster, chaos, and disarray. But one thing has stolidly and steadfastly resisted the foaming tides of time: Viz. From everything you need to know about dragons, to how the riders relieve themselves during the Tour de France, Rogers' profanisaurus, Topless Speed Freaks, and much much more, the Copper's Torch will shine a light of hope, fun, and happiness into what has been a pretty trying time for us all! Informative features: Everything you need to know about Dragons, the blood and guts story of the Colosseum, the toileting facilities of the Tour de France, and the horror of what happens when pets go big. But it's comforting to know that amid all the turmoil, some things remained unchanged. And Viz Comic was one of them.

Enjoy the best bits from this year's Viz comics (Issues 292-301) in the Viz Annual 2023: The Zookeeper's Boot.
