When the Wind Blows

Raymond Briggs' 'When the Wind Blows' is a powerful graphic novel that critiques government preparations for nuclear war.

It follows Jim and Hilda Bloggs, a retired couple, as they naively prepare for and face the devastating consequences of a nuclear strike.

The book is a stark reminder of the horrors of nuclear war and the helplessness of ordinary people in such crises.
