Crazy Mary joins ROK Comics!

Acclaimed comic Crazy Mary has joined the ranks of a growing number of indpendently-created comics on ROK Comics.

Crazy Mary is a cyberpunk action series about a bounty hunter, Mary, who can see a twisted supernatural universe that overlays and interacts with our own. Mary uses this ability along with her military training to compete in the intense world of “freelancers” a blanket term applied to Bounty Hunters, Bodyguards, Detectives, Assassins, and any other folks who get their hands dirty.

Crazy Mary combines elements of SF, Action and Horror and delivers a heroine perfect for the new millennium on the new millennium’s hottest platform.

Crazy Mary is created and written by Michael Colbert and art by critically praised painter J.K. Woodward (Peter David’s Fallen Angel, Marvel’s X-Men Mythos: Beast).

A free sample promo and serialized episodes are now available for download through www.rokcomics.com.

Crazy Mary also exists in analog form through Digital Webbing Presents as an on-going series, starting in November 2007.

War on terror set back

With news that Iran has arrested more alleged spies on its border - but this time some very furry ones - the Shadow responded with another poke at British Prime Minister Gordon Brown...



Wired points out that squirrel espionage -- Sky News reports 14 squirrels were kitted out with lisetneing devices, according to Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency -- would of course not be without precedent. Other members of the animal kingdom have been tagged as possible spies, including pigeons. During the Second World War, the Allied Forces used pigeons to fly vital intelligence out of occupied France.

Cats have also been used as spies and US marines stationed in Kuwait recently used chickens as a low-tech chemical detection system.

A UK Foreign Officer source reportedly told Sky News: "The story is nuts."
