More Lawless always makes my heart sing. Can't wait.

Major Eazy by Henry Flint:

Henry Flint certainly does a good impression of Carlos!

Henry Flint certainly does a good impression of Carlos!

No lie.
When I returned to the prog after a long absence and first saw Flint, I decided that they'd figured out how to splice early O'Neill with heyday McMahon, and these two unstable elements were bound with 12 to 15% Ezquerra.
Something of a 2000ad quintessence is our Henry.

So long as they're not rebooting Truck Turpin or The Fists of Jimmy Chang, I am itching to get a proper look at this.

In the Latest Thrill-Mail there's is a free copy to download of issue 0 of Batlle Action featuring the Rat Pack & Helman of Hammerforce. Both written by Garth Ennis & art from Keith Burns & Mike Dorey

In the thrill-mail a preview of the upcoming Spector: NEW THIS YEAR: the return of John Wagner and the late Carlos Ezquerra's 'Spector', with art by Dan Cornwell and colours by Dylan Teague

[Colin YNWA]

AND pages of art from Azimuth (new Dabnett + Bettin series) and the final Niemand and Foster Kyle Asher story. Its a thrill packed thrillmail this week!

[broodblik]

Yes I think I am more excited and intrigued my Azimuth. The last few years Dabnett has produced some of the most awesome thrills ever, if this was cricket he would have scored 100s in all his innings.

Henry Flint certainly does a good impression of Carlos!

The image of Spector in the latest thrill-mail looks pretty close, too.

[Rogue Judge]

Lots to look forward to! I'll wait for the inevitable Battle Action TPB, that art looks amazing. Also Spector is a pleasant surprise, very much looking forward to that.

Now, if only they would surprise us with new Strontium Dog tales by Wagner and MacNeil...

Sexton Blake: Caribbean Crisis & Voodoo Island! (Sexton Blake Library) - Paperback , 5th December 2023, 352 pages

The triumphant return of Michael Moorcock to Britain's adventuring detective, Sexton Blake, in the crime fiction event of the year!

A deep sea mission...

An impossible murder...

A mystery that will challenge even the famous Baker Street sleuth, Sexton Blake...

Beneath a sky of limpid sapphire blue, the research ship Gorgon rolled gently on the scintillating waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Below, in a deep sea bathysphere a thousand feet below sea level, an impossible murder takes place. And only Sexton Blake can solve the case!



I love the old style cover, especially the fabric texture in the ocean.  I'm hoping this may turn out to be a hardback.  Interestingly, the Book Depository listing has it down as being published by Simon & Schuster, under the Rebellion imprint.  Perhaps something to do with Michael Moorcock's involvement, or perhaps it's normal and I've never noticed before.  Regardless, I'm well-pleased to see Rebellion continuing to breathe life into Sexton Blake.  More please!
