Supernatural steampunk adventures of detective duo, Sir Maurice Newbury and Miss Veronica Hobbes in dark and dangerous Victorian London.
Welcome to the bizarre and dangerous world of Victorian London, a city teetering on the edge of revolution. Airships soar in the skies over the city, ground trains rumble through the streets and clockwork automatons serve the bustling public. But beneath this shiny veneer of progress lurks a sinister side. Queen Victoria is kept alive by a primitive life-support system while her agents Sir Maurice Newbury and his delectable assistant, Miss Veronica Hobbes, do battle with enemies of the crown, both physical and supernatural. Along with Chief Inspector Bainbridge, Newbury & Hobbes will face plague revenants, murderous peers, mechanical beasts, tentacled leviathans, reanimated pygmies, and an encounter with Sherlock Holmes, in this brand new adventure for the detective team.
"A steampunk adventure that any fan of the genre should love. It has action and adventure and is filled with horrors you could never imagine ... fantastically intricate and mysterious ... 9/10" - Pastrami Nation
"Boultwood's art is exquisite ... a fun read, full of twists and turns" - But Why Tho
"The characters are simply fantastic ... It’s everything I’ve been searching for in a steampunk property" - Bleeding Cool
"You cannot go wrong with this little gem of a graphic novel" - Geeks of Doom
"George Mann and Dan Boultwood serve up a very welcome tale of bizarre science and ever-so-proper heroism that is a delightful diversion from the standard graphic novel fare" - Critical Blast
