(for more images and info visit http://cdgraphicnovels.blogspot.co.uk/p/stainless-steel.html)

"The art is well suited to the post industrial now, and the industrial then...this is a well planned and plotted story, with a level of detail that is difficult to compare to anything else available – except to other titles by Craig and CD Comics!"

Most pleasing is that more than 50% of first issue readers are buying the second issues of the titles. Each comic costs around $1 or 75p UK (unless stated), and Canada and the USA make up 60% percent of sales. Also pleasing is that CDComics are well represented in the most recent Kobo Bestsellers Chart for Horror comics and for Crime & Mystery (2nd, 5th, 6th and 12th) http://www.kobobooks.com/browse/Crime__Mystery/B8eF6z2AjECkLbTTkFE57Q-1.html

Comic percentage breakdown by title
Manhattan 1930 Triology 35%

Local sales on CDrom with multiple issue comics put together as Graphic Novels, priced £2.50 and packaged in slim line DVD cases are now way behind Internet sales.

The most popular title locally has been Meadowhell, selling 130+ CDrom Graphic Novels, with Spring Heeled Jack, packaged locally as 'The Attercliffe Prowler' coming a close second... While on the Internet Manhattan 1930 is selling best and this could be the US or possible the Nikola Tesla and Aleister Crowley influence.

"Part 2 of Football Crazy was really quite funny. There were twists that were surprising, and the vein of funny running through the whole thing really hit the spot! Full of hidden Easter Eggs as well it really hits the description of a 'surreal murder mystery".

An example of the Easter Eggs, the Manchester United players all share their names with serial killers, you will have to check out the comic for the Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Wolves team line ups, but like the TV Commentator says "The defence of Dahmer, Gacy, Chse and Fish should have eaten the attack alive." while, "Berkowitz and Bundy lacked a killer instinct." it's all rather tongue in cheek...
