Don’t tell them we said this, but professional grapplers are notorious for “kayfabe” - pretending that their fake, pre-planned bouts are the genuine article. Well something that’s definitely 100% the real thing is Viz - The Wrestler’s Neck, a hulking, stiff-spined heavyweight that’s set to (very painfully) turn heads in bookshops this Christmas.

Crushed between its muscle-bound full-colour covers is an eye-popping 226 pages of cartoons, features, letters and top tips - enough side-splitting material to fill Big Daddy’s leotard and his top hat!

Viz - The Wrestler’s Neck is guaranteed to bodysplash its way to the top of the bestseller lists … Easy!

Inside, you will find

A spectacular smackdown of cartoons: The Fat Slags, Johnny Fartpants, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Roger Mellie, Eight Ace, Nobby’s Piles, Biffa Bacon, Raffles the Gentleman Thug and many more

Educational features and topical news to dislocate your funny-bone: Top of the Plops, 10 Things You Never Knew About AI, Vicars vs Vets vs Vampires,  and Everything You Need to Know About Leopards.

Thrilling adventures that will have you seeing stars: The Cuckoo Clock Chalet Ballet School, ‘Big’ John Holmes and the Hendersons and International Plywood are GO!

Enough Letters, Top Tips, spoof ads, and cut-out-and-keep free gifts to put you on the ropes and out for the count

So this festive season, gird your spandex-clad loins into a half-Nelson and prepare to take on Viz - The Wrestler’s Neck!

Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Viz’s own dictionary of slang, Roger’s Profanisaurus. Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (“the Man on the Telly”) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Viz’s unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comic’s self-effacing slogan that ‘it’s not as funny as it used to be’, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
