Beetle Reich - Tapa blanda

The rise and fall of the Nazis is given the Animal Farm treatment as the horrors of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich are brought to life using animals as the main protagonists. Aircraft include wasps, U-Boats become 'U-Bugs' and Hitler is a dung beetle. The central events in the history of the Nazi party are illustrated including the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, the battle of Stalingrad and the Final Solution. The book is written in rhyme and tells the tale of how Vermen Dungroll and his Fang Brigade came to power. His repudiation of the Treaty of Surrender, his hatred of ladybirds (the Jewish community), red ants and other undesirables. It shows how his political opponents were crushed and how he consolidated his power; rebuilt his country and expanded his empire. His revolutionary fighting methods see his swarms conquer much of western Entom; the soaring achievements peak and then the reversal begins.

J.D. Okoro grew up in London, listening to the exploits of his grandfather, a British Commonwealth soldier who had served in Burma during World War II. Beetle Reich is his debut graphic novel and the first book in The Tomes of Entom. His next work The Scruffapillar is a children's book and will be published in Summer 2018.
