This book shows just how wrong Amis and his cohorts were. The heavily illustrated tome punctuates examples of Peake's art and excerpts of his writing with purely biographical chapters. Cartoonist Chris Riddell of the Observer Sunday newspaper, Lord of the Rings illustrator John Howe, and others who have been influenced by Peake contribute a range of essays and analysis as well...

Even though the 59-year-old won 30% of the roughly 4,000 elected convention delegates from across Canada, pundits agree that any of the other three leading finalists could emerge the victor through an unprecedented schedule of two days of runoff ballots...
