Wild Lives is an all-ages collection of six comics, each blending fiction and fact together to explore the diet, habitat, lifecycle or conservation status of a specific animal: Eurasian otters, European moles, golden eagles, pipistrelle bats, Scottish wildcats and Eurasian Wolves all feature in the book, allowing the reader a glimpse into their lives. Some, I’ll admit, are heavily embellished (unless an otter-hosted cooking show has been broadcast since the time of writing), but it’s all part of the fun, innit? The comics are accompanied by a semi-scientific profile for each animal, with additional facts and of course, cute illustrations. As well as educating and entertaining readers of all ages, the book aims to incite empathy towards our furry, feathered, scaled, and exoskeleton-ed friends, and endorse the conservation of our natural spaces, for the benefit of all species for years to come. 32 page professionally printed A5 paperback comic book written and illustrated by Scottish illustrator Claire Hubbard (Emseeitch) Suitable for kids and adults
