New this week from the barking-mad mind of Warren Ellis, the creator of Ignition City and Planetary, comes Captain Swing & The Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1 (of 4). The mini-series Illustrated by Raulo Caceres in a woodcut style, and presented in full color, is set in 1830 London. The newly-minted copper Charlie Gravel keeps seeing things he’s not supposed to.

A crooked Bow Street Runner with a flintlock revolver, flying things that are not supposed to fly, and the violent Scientific Phantasmagoria that is christened Spring-Heeled Jack, but is known by other names. It is the time of Captain Swing and his Electrical Pirates, and history will never be the same.
