Description

Embargoed to 7th July, Simultaneous Release

The Thinking Reader's Da Vinci Code.... London, 1991. But not the London you may be familiar with. Imagine an England under Catholic rule - a rule so iron-fisted that science and technology has been set back decades.

"Ring of Roses is a fascinating piece of comics art. If you can penetrate the book's complexity, there is a lot to digest and think about." - Comics Bulletin

Reviews

"Fresh and invigorating... Arresting and vivid!" - Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Kingsmen)

"Must Read" - IGN

"A thoughtful and ambitious graphic novel!" - Comics Bulletin

"a phenomenal story...a fantastic book that's just as relevant now as it was nearly twenty five years ago" - Graphic Policy

"Captured beautifully and it moves perfectly along" - Flickering Myth

"...the whole thing is wonderfully dense and tightly written, well plotted, great dialogue. And then there's Watkiss' artwork, absolutely superb throughout, a real delight to turn each page, really masterful control of both individual imagery and sequential art...Ring Of Roses is a book that cleverly thrills...highly recommended" - FP International
