Praised by the likes of Raymond Briggs and described as ‘a future classic’ by the Observer, it became the first graphic novel to be shortlisted for Waterstone’s Book of the Year and won the Edinburgh Festival’s inaugural 9th Art Award. Stephen Collins’ graphic novel The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is a witty and surreal response to conformity, and how we should embrace our differences. His first book, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, was published by Cape in 2013. The beard grows, and grows, and grows, and as a result, Dave becomes the centre of attention in this otherwise orderly town.Īt first labelled a freak, the people of Here begin to realise that in fact, the abnormal “evil” beard is something to be celebrated. It starts off with one hair, and within a day, he’s grown a fully fledged beard any man would be jealous of. The world of pruned hedges, and perfectly-parked cars begins to seem absurd, and Dave’s typically hairless face starts to grow a beard.
