Middlesbrough FC: The Unseen HistoryAuthor: Richard Piers RaynerMiddlesbrough FC: The Unseen HistoryMiddlesbrough’s Unseen History is far from the standard football information guide. Far from stale facts and tired anecdotes, Artist In Residence and DC Comics illustrator Richard Piers-Raynor has created a selection of witty and charming illustrations that capture all those events that have defined the club but escaped the gaze of the camera. Drawing in black-and-white and in colour, this varied book celebrates the past and champions the present day. As much a wonderful introduction for the budding fan as a fascinating memorandum for the seasoned devotee, this unique title is a true treat that is not to be missed.

300 pages of the graphic novel, Road to Perdition over a four year period, a labour of love that led to the faithful screen adaptation by Sam Mendes and starring Tom Hanks.
Rayner's previous credits for DC Comics included work on Hellblazer, Batman, Swamp Thing and LEGION. For Marvel he illustrated Doctor Who, X-Men and Captain America among others.
He is currently writing and illustrating an Unseen History of Middlesbrough Football Club for Breedon Books featuring the club for which he is also Artist in Residence and who he has supported from being an embryo. Just like his father and grandfather (who lived right outside Ayresome Park) before him.
