If you’re looking to find a new mission in life, create the perfect cave-based hangout, or update your wardrobe, channel your inner Super Hero and, thanks to Glenn Dakin, ask yourself: “What would Batman do?”
With his strength, sophistication, razor-sharp wit, and unrivalled gadget collection, Batman has all the advice you’ll need to become a legend, so Be More Batman: Face Your Fears and Look Good Doing It, a new self help book by writer and cartoonist Glenn Dakin, out now, is surely an ideal reference work in difficult times!
Lest you need reminding, Glenn specialises in fantasy and humour. His work includes Mr. Spock’s Little Book of Mindfulness, the Candle Man novels, and his autobiographical strip ‘Abe.
Working in British comics publishing since the 1980s, his credits include editor of titles such as Doctor Who Magazine and Overkill for Marvel UK, Babylon 5 Magazine, Star Trek Magazine, and its successor, Star Trek Explorer, and more. He also edited the comics anthology STRIP Magazine and edited several audio comics for ROK Comics; and has edited several comic collections and graphic novels, including volumes of “Charley’s War” and “Dan Dare”, and Hancock: The Lad Himself, by Stephen Walsh and Keith Page.
He’s the writer of comics such as Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies for B7 Comics; “Crucible”, a creator-owned project with 2000AD artist Smuzz; and “Death Duty” and “Skow Dogs”, with Dave Hailwood.
