Marlowe Lewis is old. I mean really, really old. So old in fact, that the first ever sequential art that he ever saw was when his lifelong friend in their small clan began painting bison on the cave walls. This was a true turning point in his life. Firstly, he was immediately and irrevocably hooked on the visual arts, and secondly he discovered another use for dried bison dung. Marlowe Lewis is British. This is not an apology.

After using the healing power of the blue apple Grail wine to bring the villagers back from the dead, Dr Julien Sauniere makes his preparations for the final, desperate assault again the fortress of his mortal enemy. However his preferred plan of attack is not without its detractors among his companions and he is forced to integrate their strong religious convictions into his campaign strategy. Meanwhile, the Duke of Lorraine is attending his daughter’s cremation ceremony and his obvious mental and physical deterioration is causing the army’s high ranking staff officers to believe that Plantard’s grip on power is slipping…

We all know and appreciate that Stan’s winning formula was to put all of his heroes through an emotional mill, but Hank seems to be the dog that everyone likes to kick and I’m getting totally sick of it.

There is a detective named Chu It’s extremely hard to come up with a new concept in comics but in my very long reading experience I can honestly say that I have never heard this one before. You see, there’s this homicide cop who eats the victims flesh to gain psychic information about how they died and armed with that inside knowledge; go out to try to catch their killers.
