Product Description
This is a Charlotte Corday adventure..."RULE BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULES THE STARS!". The twentieth century is just around the corner and Queen Victoria is hale and hearty as she heads into the second century of her reign. The British Empire stretches from the white cliffs of Dover to the red skies of Mars. Go-getting men and women of the imperial dominions flock to the colours, eager to make reputations and fortunes in the wilds of high space. Take lieutenant Charlotte Corday, for instance. Born in what used to be known as France, she has risen to prominence through the ranks of the Royal Space Navy and now finds herself up to her neck in her greatest escapade yet. Watch as she travels to the mysterious Iron Moon! Marvel as she grapples with a conspiracy that may see the galaxy plunged into war! Goggle as she meets new and strange races, both mechanical and biological! Ponder how she manages to put away so many cups of tea! And prepare to have your brain scrambled as she scoops us up and carries us to the very limits of this universe ...and into the next.

Format:Hardcover
A new outing for Walsh's and Page's French adventurer Charlotte Corday, last seen in the brilliant 1960-ish London Calling and here an officer in the Royal Navy, having jumped a few genre and chronological tracks over to a steampunky Victorian world where the 109-year-old Duke of Wellington trundles around in a smoke-belching motorized wheelchair and Brunel is building space stations for the British Empire. Stephen Walsh's story is a great blend of humour, horror, subtle characterization and outrageously inventive sci-fi that I find slightly reminiscent of Hinchcliffe-era Doctor Who - not because of any specific concepts in the story, just the overall tone and the feeling of a great imaginative romp yet one with a bit of bite too. The art is up there with the best in comics today (though personally I prefer Keith Page's b&w work, not being a fan of the watercolour technique used here) and not only tells the story dramatically, it has a real personality that is another factor in giving THE IRON MOON its distinctive atmosphere. Very highly recommended - so when are Amazon going to start stocking it?!
