Five original pencil concept storyboard drawings by Raymond Briggs for the animated film When the Wind Blows, two with attached typescript attached below each image, mounted on board, some tape residue appearing slightly though images, each image approx.,140 x150mm. When the Wind Blows is a 1986 British adult animated film directed by Jimmy Murakami based on Raymond Briggs' graphic novel of the same name. The film recounts a rural English couple's attempt to survive a nearby nuclear attack and maintain a sense of normality in the subsequent fallout and nuclear winter. Jim and Hilda Bloggs follow the instructions outlined in the government-issued Protect and Survive pamphlet, to build a fallout shelter, including covering the windows with white paint and readying sacks to lie down in when a nuclear strike hits. When the Wind Blows was mentioned in UK parliamentary discussions, and used to support the case for unilateral disarmament. Protect and Survive was published in 1980, shortly before Briggs began work on When the Wind Blows. Critics of Protect and Survive point out the inadequacies of the preparation procedures posed. In contrast, in the comic format, Briggs is able to depict a more realistic account of the effects of nuclear attack on civilians, like James and Hilda. James makes reference to the bombing of Hiroshima and uses his knowledge of that event to infer what could happen to him and Hilda and to make sense of his own experience before and after the nuclear attack. Unlike the nuclear preparation pamphlets, Briggs's depiction’s of James and Hilda's experience with radiation sickness a align with real accounts of nuclear war. Sold together with a first edition of the graphic novel.
