The Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman

Raymond Briggs’s single-issue satire, published by Hamish Hamilton in 1984, uses his signature blend of wry illustration and blunt text to skewer the Falklands War, personifying its leaders as absurd, tin-pot generals and iron women. A stark, unflinching anti-war statement from the creator of The Snowman, it remains a potent, singular work in the British comics tradition.
