Harker. A relatively new comic book series from Ariel Press which is set in London and looks just fab. As Richard Bruton writes in the Forbidden Planet weblog: "Vince Danks' frankly beautiful artwork that you can use as a map of the area it's set in. Reminds me of Gerhard from Cerebus fame in the meticulous detailing of the backgrounds and the architecture." So who is Harker? He [...] is in his late fifties, a copper set in his ways, old fashioned and irritable, eccentric and grumpy, socially inept, a loner, very much an outsider in today's modern police force. Book One features Harker and Critchley on the trail of ritualistic satanic murders — a complex web of lies, deceit and ghoulish horror, taking place in a Secret London of catacombs, blood soaked churches and Satanic Lodges. Sounds like my cup of tea. Issue 0 is a free download, issues 1 — 4 can be either downloaded for £1 each or ordered in the dead-tree version for £1.95 form the Ariel Press Store. 11:48:53 AM   Art & Advertising, London | |

The Bishop Speaks. The "systematic humiliation" of MPs is threatening Britain's democracy, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned. He surely must be joking. Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams: humiliation of MPs must stop! Dear your Holiness, I would rather imagine those MPs hanging from their own chandeliers or possibly drowning in their moats instead of reading a crap article by you in The Times. You most definitely are nothing but a Douchenozzle. We don't need any Bishops writing bollocks, we've got enough dodgy MPs already. Those Bishops never get it right, do they? 6:47:49 PM   London, The World Today | |
