Silver Sable is leader of the unstoppable Wild Pack and the world's greatest mercenary! But times change...the Pack has gotten so big it no longer resembles the team Sable once led-and when evidence points to a traitor, Sable will stop at nothing until she finds him! Enter a brash young private detective calling himself Dominic Fortune, who's out to make a name in the world of international espionage! With Sable branded a has-been-and Fortune's star ascending-they're a match made in heaven...as long as Fortune shuts up and follows Sable's orders! Newcomer Brendan Cahill is joined by British comics legend John Burns (Judge Dredd, the Bendatti Vendetta) for six issues of intense superspy heroics!

Wow - a mini-series about 2 characters no one cares about written by an unproven writer & unsung artist? Yeah, I'm buying it.

i think you should start this thread over!

I'll probably give it a look. Did you see the espionage-themed backup in AMAZING FANTASY with art by the amazing Pete Woods? You might dig that as well.

I like Pete Woods!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

I did not, Matt, but I might! Speaking of - Huk-L, go buy Catwoman and tell me how it is.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

Oh, that Pete Woods.

This stuff is miles better than his Catwoman work. Stronger linework for one.

JOHN BURNS??? AN UNSUNG ARTIST???

GAAAAHHHH!!

Go immediately to Barnacle Press and check out the Seekers. This guy's been drawing supercool spy-stuff for decades.

Vic, I know! Not that I'm familiar w/ his work, but a li'l preliminary research showed A LOT OF STUFF that I don't think most folk know about! I hope I'm wrong!

BTW, here's Cahill's webcomic - it's a Flash type of thing, so WATCH OUT!

I thought Dominic Fortune was like 90 years old?

John Burns vs. John Byrne.

john burns is perhaps best known for drawing the tit and bum newspaper strip George and Lynn in the Sun, but he has drawn things like Espers for Eclipse too

Apparently Burns is also a bit of a dick in his secret life so it might be quite a match-up. David R OTM in terms of Burns not being a 'hot' artist in the US, but surely his iconic style and decades of storytelling experience will make this a sleeper hit? Or am I being a blind fule?
