‘Leepus | DIZZY’ 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.
