Strange Killings: The Body Orchard #4
Strange Killings #1-3 Collector's Pack
Story: Warren Ellis, Artwork and Script Assist: Mike Wolfer.
"Never a dull day, being a magician."
Sergeant Major William Gravel of Britain's SAS is a brilliant soldier. He's also a chronic moonlighter, taking on unofficial cash-in-hand jobs from unsavoury underground characters in order to pay off his constant, secret and quite hefty personal expenses. This has led to him being permanently placed on "K" duty -- deniable operations. If he's caught pulling the dirty secret black-ops stunts that define "K" duty, then nobody knows him and he has no escape. Which leads to him taking more black-market jobs in order to make money and purchase favours against the day he's finally caught. Which is plainly something of a vicious circle.
He's also a magician of some twenty years' standing.
He is, in fact, the only known combat magician in the occult sphere. If he was capable of actually getting his life together, he could probably change the world. Instead, he's constantly involved in other peoples' lives and other people's dirty secret, running headlong towards the day when he hits something he can't escape from, shoot, or wish away.
But he's going to enjoy the race.
STRANGE KILLINGS are the stories of William Gravel previous to STRANGER KISSES. A series of self-contained story arcs "plotmasters" by creator Warren Ellis and completed by STRANGE KISS/STRANGER KISSES artist (and writer in his own right) Mike Wolfer. Readership: Mature Readers, Format: B&W
