Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CHARACTERS FROM the magazine Viz are being brought to life in an exhibition which opened in London last night.
The event celebrates the 20th birthday of the adult comic, one of the success stories of the Eighties. At one time Viz achieved sales of more than a million copies, making it Britain's third best-selling magazine. It has now settled at what the publisher feels is a more sustainable level of 350,000.
Among items in the "Quack Ooops! 20 Years Of Viz" exhibition will be the piscine goalkeeper, Billy The Fish, displayed in a glass tank in the style of a Damien Hirst exhibit.
The exhibition will be on show at the Brunswick Centre in Marchmont Street, W1, until 23 December, moving to the Arts Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, Viz's home town, from 30 January to 13 February.
