This series mixes comic books with funny jokes and mind-fizzing history for readers aged 8+ and we LOVE it. 

Imagine if you could dig up from the ground the dead bodies of famous people from history. What secrets would you uncover? In each of these books, we get to have an in-depth interview with the corpses of these historical figures. Find out the secret of Cleopatra's irresistible personality. Interview the dead famous scientists who changed the world. Uncover the reason why Queen Elizabeth poisoned her face. Dig all history's dirt. 

Perfect for all lovers of the macabre, especially Fairytales Gone Bad and Horrible Histories.
