Spycops: The Graphic Novel
Spycops: The Graphic Novel | Glenn Hustler

The true story of Britain's political police, an introduction & backstory.
If you don’t know anything about Spycops, don’t worry you were never supposed to. To catch you up: They were a secret police unit in Britain set up in 1968 to infiltrate and disrupt socially progressive movements, protect big business and subvert the very idea of liberal democracy.
During their clandestine operations, they perverted the course of justice, acted as agent provocatuers, spied on family justice campaigns looking for justice for police brutality or negligence, conspired with the construction industry to blacklist union workers, and deceived dozens of women into long term sexual relationships, in some cases proposing marriage and fathering children before vanishing without a trace. Many undercover officers did all of this while using the stolen identities of dead children. This story deserves wider coverage and understanding, and I hope my graphic novel does something to help.

Spycops: The Graphic Novel | Glenn Hustler

Pickpick

This is a graphic history focusing on the origins of the British police as protectors of capitalist interests (the first recognisable police organisation being set up in docks to protect cargo being scavenged by poor workers), and the long history of undercover police as agents provocateurs to infiltrate, radicalise and demonise anti-establishment movements.
A little disjointed at times, but nonetheless an interesting insight into social control.
