In 2003 the prestigious Wilhelm Busch Museum in Hannover held a retrospective of his work entitled Drawings. David Hughes new book, Walking the Dog, is a 300 page graphic novel merging fiction and autobiography, shortly to be published by Jonathan Cape. The book is set to redefine the genre. This exhibition will feature original artwork from the book, seen in public for the first time, along with a retrospective selection of published work.
