If you knew nothing about British comics of the Platinum, Golden and Silver Ages then once you buy and read this book you'll be a goddam comic intellectual dinosaur! Yipes!

I sold my family to be able to get this book out! Help me buy them back by purchasing your very own 

whizz-o copy today!

The Bat versus Krakos

   Oh yes, he may be on holiday but a tour of Europe seemed to be a good idea. A rest from the constant attempts to kill him.  So Krakos's loyal servant Ahmed bought tickets to a nice quiet old style country called the Grand Duchy of Stahl.  

What could possibly go wrong?  

Keep an eye open for any Bat-like monarchs.  

It'll be fun. 😏

In case you need the hint; in 2010 I promised William A. Ward's The Bat versus Krakos the Angel of the Burning Death and guess what? I intend to make it happen and work is already in the planning stages even though the story has been in my head for over 15 years.

Now so long as I do not get Covid part 3 2024 ought to be interesting.
