Johnny Red ends, Hookjaw begins!

The delayed eighth and final issue of Titan's Johnny Red mini-series is now scheduled to be published on 3rd August, with a spectacular wraparound cover by Keith Burns. Then, in December, Titan Comics launch an all-new Hookjaw series, written by Si Spurrier and drawn by Conor Boyle, inspired by the popular strip that appeared in Action weekly 40 years ago.

Cover from the Multiversity Comics website.

Hook Jaw? Blimey. I hope they keep that one well away from the kiddies.; Monday 25 July 2016 at 19:12:00 BST
Lew Stringer said...: It'll only be available from comic shops so I doubt many very young children will see it. Also, I'm guessing it'll be labeled mature readers.; Tuesday 26 July 2016 at 18:59:00 BST
SID said...: This is great news. I was never a big fan of Johnny Red but Hookjaw - well that's a different story. He was one of reasons why I bought the now defunct Strip Magazine. :); Thursday 28 July 2016 at 21:49:00 BST
