Synopsis

In Mega-City One, aged citizen Jacob Sardini practices a delicate art. Human taxidermy is a highly skilled craft and has been a sport in the Mega-Olympics for several decades. Sardini used to compete internationally and even won a bronze medal in the 2082 Mega-Olympiad, but that was years ago, when he was younger. Now it is 2116 and the Mega-Olympics are taking place in Katmandu, Nepal. All the typical sports of the 22nd century are represented: insulting, staring, housework, mountaineering, sex and of course Human taxidermy. Will Jake come out of retirement and attempt to win the title for the Big Meg? Written by UK comic book legends John Wagner (Judge Dredd) and Alan Grant (Batman) and with stunning art by Ian Gibson (Halo Jones), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars) and Trevor Hairsine (Cla$$war), this complete collection of Taxidermist stories will leave you in stitches!
