The official Pants Opus? is the ultimate tribute to one of the wotb's greatest ever posters.
This giant volume tells the inside story of Pants from his foundation in 2001, via Himsworth, of the awkward middle era, through to the halcyon days of Gus Poyet 33 and on to modern-day successes of Pants and countless other weird and wonderful usernames that have kept the WOTB faithful enthralled and entertained throughout the years.
More than ten years in the making, this monumental publication takes the viewer on a journey way beyond the scope of previous history books on any WOTB poster. An array of brilliant writers, photographers, illustrators, artists (and even dancers) combine to highlight the key strands of his DNA which make Pants such a unique WOTB contributor.
