I've been reading a lot of graphic-novel-crime stuff of late and was intrigued by two stories I read in 'the mammoth book of crime comics' (purchased for £1 in HMV!'). They were Neil Gaiman & Warren Pleeces' 'The Court' and Alan Moore & Oscar Zarate's 'I keep coming back'. I discovered they were both taken from the same graphic anthology "It's dark in London" which was sadly out of print. Just before I resolved to stick the title on my 'list' a quick google search revealed it was being re-issued by Self Made Hero this month. Duelly picked it up and forbidden planet and thanks to road works read the whole thing on the bus home from work. While there are a couple of stories in there which don't hit the mark for me it is, all in all, a rather excellent anthology and one I'd highly recommend to both noir heads and comic fans.

I read the Mammoth Book of Crime Comics and enjoyed it. Who's in It's Dark in London?

Looks promising. I'll have to keep an eye out for this.
