The Illustrated Good Omens cover

This edition of the end-of-the-world tale features stunning illustrations and a revised text, offering a fresh take on the beloved story.

In a world teetering on the brink of apocalypse, the prophecies of Agnes Nutter, a witch from the 17th century, foretell the end of days. With the impending doom set for a Saturday, the forces of Good and Evil prepare for battle. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse rev up their motorcycles, while the last two witchfinders gear up for a showdown. Amidst the chaos, strange occurrences abound: Atlantis is surfacing, frogs are falling from the sky, and tempers are flaring as the grand plan unfolds.

However, two unlikely characters, an angel named Aziraphale and a demon named Crowley, find themselves reluctant participants in the coming Rapture. Having enjoyed life on Earth for centuries, they are not ready to say goodbye to their comfortable existence. Their mission? To locate and eliminate the Antichrist, who, as it turns out, is just a nice kid who has been misplaced. As they navigate the absurdities of their task, they must confront their own feelings about the world and the people in it.

This illustrated edition brings a fresh perspective to the beloved tale, featuring twelve full-color illustrations by Paul Kidby and a corrected text approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate. It is a definitive version of this cherished story that blends humor, fantasy, and a touch of the absurd, making it a must-have for fans old and new.

The Apocalypse has never been funnier - Clive Barker

Wickedly funny - TIME OUT

A superbly funny book. Pratchett and Gaiman are the most hilariously sinister team since Jekyll and Hyde. If this is Armageddon, count me in - James Herbert

Hilarious Pratchett magic tempered by Neil Gaiman's dark steely style; who could ask for a better combination? - FEAR
