Inside, you’ll find the latest instalments of Judge Dredd, Helium, The Devil’s Railroad, Feral & Foe and The Fall of Deadworld, all guaranteed to get your Thrill-motors buzzing!
Equally zarjaz is the latest release from the Treasury of British Comics imprint - the first issue of a Smash! mini-series, featuring such classic characters as The Spider, Janus Stark, Adam Eterno and more in an interconnected story, scripted by Jack Staff and Demon Nic’s Paul Grist, and illustrated by art-bots such as Anna Morozova, Tom Foster, Jimmy Broxton and VV Glass. Those of you that enjoyed The Vigilant’s similar plunge into UK comics history would do well to pick it up - grab a copy from your local comics store or at treasuryofbritishcomics.com!
Right, time for me to vacate the editorial office and take a quick tour of Quaxxann, for my nephew Joko-Jargo is in the hot seat next week!
