COLLECTED HOOK JAW (104 page graphic novel - RRP £12.99/$19.99)
From the pages of the million sales-per-month Action comic (UK) comes the collected edition of the man-eating great white shark, Hook Jaw! Eventually banned for its graphic violence after a media outcry, this forerunner of 2000 AD sees blood-n-guts and limbs-a-flying mix with environmental issues. This collection comprises the two pre-ban storylines. By Pat Mills (2000AD, Charley's War, Slaine, Marshall Law etc etc) and Ken Armstrong (Flesh, Dan Dare and other uncredited stories), Ramon Sola (Action, 2000AD, Battle etc) and Felix Carrion. The horrific nature and young audience of Action weekly led to prohibition campaigns by the Evening Standard, the Sun and the BBC.
STARSCAPE PRESENTS: DEAD (24 page US-sized comic - RRP £2.99)
Zombies have invaded the Wild West. All that stands between the hungry mouths of the living dead and the last refuge of salvation is one kick-ass beautiful female sheriff. Recommended for fans of The Walking Dead and other zombie horror comics. A self-contained horror tale from Gary Simpson (2000AD, Engine Comics) with quite breathtaking art from Lee O'Connor (Vurt, Shelf Life and Iraq: The Graphic War).
