Please note: single issues move so fast we can’t guarantee this item is in stock at any given time. But if we don't have a copy we will immediately back order it for you.
Back orders, for items which are in print and available, will typically arrive at Page 45 within 1 week if the UK distributor has stock, or 3 to 4 weeks if they need to request it from the US distributor's warehouse or the publisher.
Please note, we do NOT guarantee first printings. If you are speculating on 'hot' titles and want multiple first print copies of comics we probably don't have left in stock, please just don't bother ordering. Comics should be for reading...

THIS! Blisteringly brutal Western / Frontier comic from the creators of 100 BULLETS. Attitude all the way, dripping with excessive, oppressive heat! LOOK at Risso's own colours!
A generational saga (but emphatically NOT a family affair, whatever you may infer from these photos!), this is no effete approximation OF but a full-blooded brother TO my own favourite Western frontier prose: Larry McMurty (Lonesome Dove etc and indeed etc), Philip Meyer (The Son), John Williams (Butcher's Crossing), Patrick DeWitt (The Sisters Brothers), Charles Portis (True Grit) and (perhaps surprisingly) Sebastian Barry's Days Without End.
I have been careful to leave the most vicious inhumanity on the cutting eoom floor, but it's explicitly here so please don't buy this for your 10-yr-olds wanting a cowboy comic. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
This is exactly what all of you - who've been asking for a Western for 29 years here - have been waiting for. It is PHENOMENAL.
THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER album-sized #1 by Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso.
I don't expect any collected edition for a couple of years at the earliest.
The publisher writes:
"In the old American West, three children set off across the wild Texas frontier to rescue their mother-kidnapped by ruthless outlaws who gunned down their preacher father. Throughout their journey, they'll face the harsh elements of an unforgiving landscape, deadly animals hungry for blood, merciless bounty hunters and so much more…all in a relentless quest to rescue their family. Along the way, they'll learn the terrible cost of revenge-not just in lives, but in how it stains a soul. While revenge may be satisfying in the moment, it leaves a yearning behind that lasts a lifetime. And once you taste it, nothing else is ever so sweet."
