By Darryl Cunningham<\/strong> & Simon Gane<\/strong> (Slab-O-Concrete) Here’s another cool cure for the seemingly endless homogeneity of mainstream comic books from the sorely missed Slab-O-Concrete outfit. John Dark is a secret agent who quits his job seconds before being fired. He becomes an enforcer for a gang boss because criminals are less corrupt and evil than any spy or politician and proceeds to cause as much mayhem and carnage as any post-modern thriller fan could ever want.<\/p>\n Brilliantly mordant black humour, solid dialogue and just enough deep-seated respect and admiration for its antecedents to cheer up the jaded fan, this slim book, which also contains \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Underworld\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> a bleak, black tale a gangster’s final vengeance, was released just ahead of the wave of Cool, Retro British gangster movies such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels<\/strong>, and to my mind is infinitely superior to them simply because of the stylish and eccentric artwork of Simon Gane.<\/p>\n You should hunt it down and make it your own!<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 1998 Darryl Cunningham & Simon Gane.
