Nick and Charlie started out as supporting characters in Oseman’s first YA
novel Solitaire. The talented author/illustrator decided she wanted to
expand the couple’s story, so she created Heartstopper. The episodic
story commenced in 2016 as a free serialised webcomic, and soon gathered a
plethora of fans. Then, Oseman crowdfunded to self-publish volume one of the Heartstopper
graphic novel series and the rest as they say is history. Hachette have now
published four volumes (Volume 5 will be published in 2023) and Netflix have
produced a TV adaptation, and the momentum has not stopped.
To celebrate all things Heartstopper Oseman has created a yearbook/artbook
capturing the year-by-year backstory of how the series evolved. The full colour
hardback book also includes character profiles, mini comics, plenty of artwork
and insights into Oseman’s creative process. The Heartstopper Yearbook
is informative and visually delightful, and highly recommended for fans of the series.
