Review
Love how this story is set out, it is split into three different tales almost. One takes place in 1873, one takes place in 1973, while the last takes place in 2011. The different time lines have different generations of families in them. The best one I thought was the 1973 one in which a young man and a Police Officer contemplate going into the tunnels under Sheffield in search of the demonic prankster. Has quite a cool horror vibe to it. Another good comic, hypnotic, and entertaining and worth a look at.

Have a fun read and please do have nightmares.

Sony Download Comic Chart

Now this is confusing, I set myself the task of working out CDComic titles position in the Sony bestsellers chart that includes free comics and those below $0.99

CDComics currently have ten comic books available on Sony, Robin Hood 2020 and Carnacki & Hanaay have still to be sorted between Smashwords and Sony.

Manhattan: The Man in the White Suit, Part One: Empire State is available from Sony, but for some reason doesn't appear in the chart.

Over the weekend I've checked the chart four times and each time CDComics listed nine titles have moved all over the place in a chart that includes 200 titles.

Football Crazy: The Theatre of Nightmares on the Road to Insanity, was in 10th position, Spring Heeled Jack: From the Tunnels of Hell  reached as high as 7th, Meadowhell: The True Horror of Shopping hit 21st and War Nurse 30th, while the second and third issues of Manhattan 1930, mainly hung around in the 30's and 40's, while Manhattan 1930: Part One never appeared, but was often at the top of my personal bestsellers list.

I'm totally baffled, the Kobo, Crime and Mystery Chart is much less complicated 3 comics in the top 10 and Meadowhell just bubbling under.

Anyway most of titles are just $0.99 and all have more than 32 full colour pages and have been getting rave reviews, so why not have a read

The comics are available from the following websites worldwide, you may need to checkout a few of the sites to get the full range.

The Rotting Zombie reviews Spring Heeled Jack

Spring Heeled Jack: From the Tunnels of Hell gets another totally Independent Review...


Here's a couple of extracts from what the Rotting Zombie thought about the comic

The Plot
'Every one hundred years on the night of Halloween a demonic figure with glowing red eyes and the ability to send men insane with fear appears in Sheffield to terrorise young women. Dating back as far as people can remember this thing has appeared like clockwork in the 73rd year of every century but come Halloween 2011 and the creature has returned out of sync. Not only that but it is now murdering people where before it only terrorised.'


The Opinion
'I love how this story is set out, it is split into three different tales almost. One takes place in 1873, one takes place in 1973, while the last takes place in 2011. The best one I thought was the 1973 one in which a young man and a Police Officer contemplate going into the tunnels under Sheffield in search of the demonic prankster. Another good comic though, hypnotic, and entertaining and worth a look at.'

ComicBitsOnline post about Spring Heeled Jack

Terry of Comicbitonline post about CDComic's  Spring Heeled Jack: From the Tunnels of Hell


Historically, London 1837 has been established as Victorian prankster demon’s first appearance and within 20 years Spring Heeled Jack appeared in ‘Penny Dreadfuls’ and is often referred to as the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Bob Kane’s Batman.
But in 1808, a letter to the Editor of the Sheffield Times referred to a prankster demon that had terrorised the town years before and the description of the ‘Park Ghost’ matched, a fire breathing, red eyed, laughing and pitchfork wielding, building leaping demon from hell.
In 1873 and 1973 Spring Heeled Jack returned to Sheffield and again sightings were reported in the local press, now Sheffield based CDComics are bringing the prankster demon home and bang up to date.
The legend of Sheffield’s bogeyman has the demon using the tunnels under the city and terrorising females by ripping at their clothes and his appearances are marked by a carving of Spring Heeled Jack on the timber frame of Sheffield’s oldest pub, the Old Queens Head built in 1573.
Jack returns on Halloween 2011 and this time instead of ripping at women’s clothes, the demon is killing people, but why has the demon returned 62 years early and why is Jack killing people this time?
CDComic’s Spring Heeled Jack answers the questions and solves all the mysteries surrounding the legend of the prankster demon.
Spring Heeled Jack: From the Tunnels of Hell is also available to download in two 35 page parts from several websites priced around $0.99/80p/Euro equivalent; prices do vary slightly due to download cost charges by some suppliers.
Spring Heeled Jack Part One: ISBN: 9781476058245
Spring Heeled Jack Part Two: ISBN: 9781476116099
