National treasure actor Jim Broadbent and "Guardian" cartoonist Dix join forces in this graphic novel inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1561 painting "Dulle Griet", in which the pair consider what Dull Margaret's life might look like beyond her heroism in the frame.


About the author










Jim Broadbent is one of his generation's most acclaimed actors, on stage or screen. He lives in England.

Summary

Inspired by Dulle Griet (aka “Mad Meg"), Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s 16th-century painting of a “strong, intense woman striding determinedly across a violent landscape," Dull Margaret is the first graphic novel by Academy Award winning-actor Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and artist Dix (perhaps best known for his Roll Up! Roll Up! comics in the Guardian newspaper). The Dulle Griet painting shows a breastplated woman with a sword in one hand in front of the mouth of hell, and Broadbent uses that single, vivid image as a launching point to explore what the rest of Dull Margaret’s bleak existence may have been like.
