Description
Journey into the thrilling world of international espionage as one of Britain's most covert MI-6 divisions, The Nest, recruits a brand-new secret agent to their team: SPY SEAL! Follow the newbie spy and his furry colleagues on exciting train rides, high-speed car chases, down secret underground tunnels, and high-flying air adventures-- all in an effort to hunt down a dangerous British-turned-Soviet double-agent-- a slippery spy who poses as an upscale art dealer while covertly killing off important figures of Parliament. What is the reasoning behind this double-agent's terrorist actions? Why are three masked bunny rabbits vandalizing paintings at every London gallery? And just what is this elusive CORTEN-STEEL Phoenix anyway? Check out this deluxe format edition to decipher the answers to these and other puzzling questions in RICH TOMMASO'S (SHE WOLF) latest series, visually reminiscent of such classic comics as THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN and USAGI YOJIMBO. Book One of Rich Tommaso's newest and most exciting secret agent comic series. Collects Issues 1-4Product Details

About the Author
Inspired by the crime and horror films of the 1970s - 1980s, artist/writer Rich Tommaso has effectively utilized those influences in his first two original titles at Image, DARK CORRIDOR and SHE WOLF. Having grown up during these same time periods, he's also been able to draw from his own life experiences to elevate and personalize his comics while simultaneously working within those classic genres.
