The Stones: A History In Cartoons combines previously unpublished entries from Bill Wyman's personal diaries with cartoons by some of the greatest satirical artists of the last 40 years to create a fascinating history of the Rolling Stones. Over more than four decades, the Rolling Stones have been the inspiration for hundreds of cartoons, and Bill Wyman has collected them, meticulously recording when and where they appeared showing the Rolling Stones in cartoon form.

Arranged chronologically, The Stones: A History In Cartoons combines 150 individual Rolling Stones cartoons with the entry from Bill Wyman's diary written on the day the drawing was published. Covering everything from the infamous Rolling Stones drugs bust to Bill Wyman's leaving the Rolling Stones, and from screaming fans to the day a Bristol hotel refused to serve the Rolling Stones lunch because the Rolling Stones weren't smart enough, this is a unique and personal look at the Rolling Stones.

Bill Wyman gives his own unique take on life with the Rolling Stones with The Stones: A History In Cartoons - and we are treated to a comprehensive collection of the funniest cartoons ever created about the pop scene.
