PARTING SHOT

A month ago, an independent graphic novel publisher called SelfMadeHero sent out an open call for pitches that featured UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The company received a plethora of submissions, with illustrators pitching everything from Corbyn the Barbarian to Corbynman the superhero.

As the Guardian reports, one story features the veteran left-wing politician battling an “inter-dimensional invasion fleet of Daily Mail death drones”, with others showing him making and wielding jars of jam.
