Spring Heeled Jack Digital Comic

In 1873 sightings of Spring Heeled Jack appeared in the Sheffield Telegraph newspaper and one hundred years later in 1973 another creature that could leap over buildings, breathed fire and attacked young women, the Sheffield press named this creature the 'Attercliffe Prowler'.

Newspaper clippings and eye witness statements exist from both events, but were these cases of mass hysteria or two unrelated elaborate pranks, why not find out...

You can buy the two 35 page comics from the following download sites

Sheffield CDrom Graphic Novels

That's six titles set in Sheffield, plus Eyam, Manhattan 1930 and War Nurse. Graphic Novels/Comics on CDRom and below is CDComics new poster for retailers.

The Graphic Novels/Comics are available locally from the following shops:

The Sheffield Space Centre on the Wicker
Broomhill's Galaxy 4 and the Record Collector
Rare and Racy on Devonshire Green
Blackwells on Mappin Street

and now Books on the Park (opposite Endcliffe Park)

The labelled CDroms with JPEG and PDF versions of the comic books 
are packaged in slimline DVD cases with wrap around covers. 


Here are a few independent review extracts

"It’s rare that a comic completely catches me off guard. With this series though, I was caught off guard completely when I read it, so much so that I leaned back in my chair and was like, “Damn… you got me.” around half way through the second issue when the bomb is dropped on you... I was blown away." Comic $astards, US Reviewer gave it 5 out of 5

"Daley’s unique, dry wit is the highlight of his writing. He may write great stories, but when it comes to the closing pages, there’s no one else to compare. CD Comics output has been nothing but a treat to read, with Meadowhell being no exception. Another cult gem." Horror Cult Films UK Reviewer

"So much work goes into giving a realistic bend to his comics that it really sets them apart from others which just do not have the same level of crazy detail... I was really drawn into this world, desperate to find out just what was going on." Rotting Zombie UK Reviewer gave it 8 out of 10

Don't worry, if you're not living or visting Sheffield, CDComics are also available to download from the following websites online:

$1.99/£1.30 Horror Comic Reviewed

CDComics fourth macabre horror whodunit title set in Sheffield gets reviewed by Bat at Horror Cult Films


Review Extract: "The first chapter of a three part story, PUNCHLINE... manages to inject a bit of humour, in what is an actual brutal comic. The black and white style of the comic is used to great effect and keeps it from being too gory to read visually, though the written words do enough to turn your stomach as Punchline (The Surreal Detective) thinks nothing of blurting out the brutal details of the murder, seemingly unaffected by what he’s witnessed.

The Butcher of Banner Cross: Punchline is a fantastic start to a supernatural murder mystery series... a must-read for horror fans."

Manhattan 1930 reviewed by HorrorCultFilms

Part One: The Empire State, was reviewed by Bat, the Editor-in-Chief and Leader of the Gang at Horror Cult Films...


So what did the Webmistress make of the full colour 40 page first part of Manhattan 1930
"You’ve got to hand it to Craig Daley of CDComics. His imagination and concept of whodunnit stories are magnificent as he creates a picture, or rather a graphic novel, of a bustling alternate world that still has roots in real life. Whilst reading the comic, I felt similarities to that of Watchmen, so if you enjoyed that then you’ll love Manhattan 1930."

Praise indeed! For the full review visit http://horrorcultfilms.co.uk/2012/11/manhattan-1930-issue-one-the-man-in-the-white-suit/

All three parts are available at the following download sites priced around $0.99/80p


The Manhattan 1930 Graphic Novel with all three parts is available from four Sheffield retailers, Rare & Racy, Galaxy 4, Blackwells and the Space Centre, priced £2.50.

Spring Heeled Jack Independent Review

Hammer Horror style from CDComics Surreal Murder Mystery Series reviewed by Horror Cult Films

For the full review visit http://horrorcultfilms.co.uk/2012/09/spring-heeled-jack-from-the-tunnels-of-hell/ but here's an extract

"The supernatural is explored in Spring-Heeled Jack with the mystery building-leaper, who’s non-stop laughter strikes fear into the common man and woman, being described as a ghost, demon and the devil himself. For centuries, this mischievious figure has tormented the towns and now he has returned in 2011, he must be stopped once and for all.
This is an enjoyable mystery romp with a supernatural edge that makes it all the more satisfying.
You can find Spring-Heeled Jack and CD Comics back catalogue at the following sites, and with each issue being less than £1 each, what are you waiting for?"


That's under £1 or $1.25 for each issue at...

Or in Sheffield on CDRom for £2,50 for both parts at
The Sheffield Space Centre, Broomhill's Galaxy 4 or Record Collector, Rare and Racy, Funhouse at Woodseats or the Blackwells just off West Street.

A bit of YOUTUBE fun...
