CARLTON BOOKS

ANGEL FIRE GN (UPDATED EDITION)
by Chris Blythe & Steve Parkhouse
Meet John Dury: the poster boy for a morally corrupt generation. A corporate predator who hunts and kills businesses for money, power, and bonuses paid in designer drugs. The latest drug to hit the city is Angel Fire. A powerful sedative and hallucinogen that seems to open the door to the next world. Instead of finding the keys to heaven, John opens the door to hell — spiralling into a nightmare dimension of ghosts and demons — and the faceless shadow that waits in the deepest blackest reaches of his own soul. Part Faustian fable, part Gothic horror story – Angel Fire is a powerful tale of corruption and redemption, told by two of the UK’s top comic book creators. This new edition features over 80 pages of new material. (C: 0-1-2)
