n Wallace & Gromit's Catch of the Day (Titan Books, £8.99)

Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit have cemented a place in the British public's hearts.

With A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, audiences have enjoyed the two loveable characters' mad-cap adventures and inventions.

A fourth film, The Great Vegetable Plot, is said to be in production, but for those of us who can't wait that long, Titan Books has produced Wallace & Gromit's Catch of the Day.

This colourful comic strip adventure is in the best traditions of the genre and will appeal to children and adults alike.

The plot is classic Wallace & Gromit fare.

Wallace is perplexed to find a severe shortage of fish at his local chip shop.

What sinister mystery lies behind their disappearance?

Will Gromit and the Tub-Marine help him get his fish and chip supper?

Full of sight gags and clever dialogue, Catch of the Day will pass muster with die-hard fans and appeal to those new to the dynamic duo's adventures.
