Get free Energy at the Livesey Museum

Get your free copy of Energy, a 24 page comic produced in an edition of 20,000, at the Livesey Museum for Children in London. Energy was produced as part of their 2004/2005 exhibitions and events program on the same theme.

Forty-two regular users of the Museum worked on the book with Grennan and Sperandio, developing a series of inventive and compelling narratives that reveal the hidden energies in their daily lives in the London Borough of Southwark.

The book skews the notion that energy is for the scientists by focussing on the power of love, cooking and eating, dancing, talking and thinking. Energy will be used as a development tool by the Museum and the Borough's education, youth and library services. Including recipes, activities, facts, quips and personal opinions, Energy is the richest and most playful comic book published by Kartoon Kings to date.
