What is The Scarifiers? “The Ghostbusters... in tweed. Adapted from the BBC Radio 4 Extra series, The Scarifyers is a rip-roaring tale of comedic supernatural intrigue set in 1930s Britain, distilling the likes of Dick Barton, The Devil Rides Out and Quatermass into a cracking new adventure.” Why should we pick this up? Forbidden Planet International Blog: “Executed with style, expertly written, full of great characters, sparkling dialogue, and some quite magnificent artwork... I loved it.” Comics Bulletin: “A very British mix of class satire, supernatural drama, secret societies and clever dialogue, combined with some nicely creative art.” Comic Bits Online: “The UKs “edgier” counterparts of Blake & Mortimer... oozes Britishness and I can only recommend this highly.” Shiny Shelf: “A Wheatley-esque period horror adventure story with a pleasingly light, humorous touch... Seek it out.” Mass Movement Magazine: “One of the strongest opening chapters that it’s been my pleasure to read in more than three decades of comic devotion.” Available at: Buy it from Forbidden Planet International, Orbital Comics, Gosh Comics, Mega City Comics, Travelling Man or www.cosmichobo.com.
