Career
Rowson's books include graphic adaptations of The Waste Land and Tristram Shandy. Snatches, his book, was released in 2006 (ISBN 0-224-07604-3).

He also created original cartoons for the film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' title sequence.
He wrote The Dog Allusion: Gods, Pets, and How to Be Human in 2008, arguing that faith is a complete waste of time and money, much like owning pets. (The word comes from Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion.) Self Made Hero published a collection of cartoons and a written account of the four years of the coalition government in 2014. He is an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society and a leading supporter and board member of Humanists United Kingdom.
