Big Brother
This comic was produced in May 2005 in response to the implementation of Control Orders, a flawed piece of legislation which has since, rightly, been overturned in the courts. However, the underlying theme of the comic, that of concern about the inexorable increase in power of the database state, still stands.
“...I need to bring cartoonist Kate Evans, new to me, to your attention. She’s written and drawn the Big Brother comic, aimed at raising awareness of the growing government intervention into our once-private lives. It’s a serious message, which she conveys with immense wit, style and political sharpness. Above all, she’s original and she’s funny.”Marcel Berlins, Guardian, 10th October 2005
“The Big Brother comic is brilliant: funny and shocking and apt and beautifully drawn.”George Monbiot
