Did you know: The Tale of One Bad Rat is the second most requested graphic novel in US libraries? (and an honourable second at that - only Maus beats it).

	Breaking news! The movie rights to the Tale of One Bad Rat have been acquired! Read the press release for more information!
	The Tale of One Bad Rat is an amazingly moving story, even for those that have not suffered the horror of child abuse. When people who have themselves been to that dark place come back and say that the book helped them, then I listen in humbled awe. I have found a number of external sites that detail how Bad Rat helped them get through their own personal nightmare. Artbomb reviewed One Bad Rat and Comics Worth Reading site has also reviewed the Tale of One Bad Rat - and has given it an outstadning review.
	I have added a new gallery of images from the comic compared to their real world counterparts in the Lake District: check out the Lake District thumbnail gallery for more.
	Another fan of Bryan's has drawn a four page online comic about Beatrix Potter: check out Tatiana Gill's homepage, and then her comic DIY Victorian Style.
