Continuing my exploration of the British small comics press I picked up a copy of Dick Turpin and the Vengeful Shade by Steve Turner (w) and Roland Bird (a) which is a prestige format full colour one-shot or "done in one" story however you like to describe it.
The story features Dick Turpin in an incarnation that is somewhat different to the norm and isn't really either a brave or likeable character nor is he much more than a puppet throughout this story which starts with a robbery gone wrong and a vengeful spirity that's out to kill when the miscreants and their victims take shelter.
Described as a "locked in a room murder and mystery" it's a wee bit ore than that and highly entertaining with it. With a good script and professional artwork this is a comic worth picking up if you fancy something a little different from the norm.
I have previously picked up Brawler #1 and have taken part in the Kickstarter for Brawler #2. They also have a new title out which I'll be checking in due course.
Rating: 4 Stars Recommended.
