Leepus: Dizzy by Jamie Delano

Leepus: Dizzy by Jamie Delano

Leepus - DIZY is a venture into prose from established comics writer Jamie Delano - Hellblazer, 2020 Visions, Outlaw Nation, The Territory, Cruel and Unusual, among many others.

In the dystopian near-future alternate reality of Inglund, the novel's eponymous lead character - gambler and 'detective', Leepus - guides the reader on an erratic exploration of his strange interior and exterior worlds.

The novel is populated by a cast of outlandish and mysterious characters who both aid and distract Leepus in his pursuit of truth and often rough justice on a path of full-tilt adventure and intrigue.

An energetic tale embracing mystery, black humour and occasional raw violence.

First in an occasional series; the second volume - Leepus - The River is expected in 2016.

Jamie Delano, who was born in 1954, has contributed to the comic book medium in a variety of ways, scripting both original works (World Without End, Tainted, Ghostdancing, Hell Eternal, Cruel and Unusual, Territory, Outlaw Nation) and publisher-owned franchises (Captain Britain, Dr Who, Night Raven, Hellblazer, Animal Man, Batman, Shadowman) over the course of 25 years. He is currently preparing for retirement, and he and his companion, Sue, live in a semi-rural area of England.
