Or the third in the series, Football Crazy, which is available in blue or red and white for Blades and Owls fans


Part One of the 4th story in the Surreal Murder Series set in Sheffield's Banner Cross has just been released on the download sites.

Kobo Comic Horror Chart

The top twenty in the chart are written by Joss Whedon, Robert Kirkman, Clive Barker, Mike Mignola, Gary Reed, Tony Lee and CDComics, Craig Daley... WOW!

So that's The Walking Dead, Buffy, Hellboy, Hellraiser, DeadWorld and CDComics Surreal Murder Mystery titles...



Kirkman and his Walking Dead dominate the top 20 with ten titles, but CDComics are running in second with three titles and there are more titles bubbling under and climbing up the Horror charts.


Plus the first issue of the fourth title in CDComics Surreal Murder Mystery Series that was released last month. Punchline is the first in b/w and red and with a guest artist, Chatri, the previous titles are in colour and all seven comics are at least 32 pages long.   




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

"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. 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." Rotting Zombie UK reviewer

CDComics are also available on the following download sites

Rotting Zombie Review The Butcher...

'The Butcher of Banner Cross' has been reviewed by Daniel from Rotting Zombie, who gave this first issue of three and CDComics 4th title in the Surreal Murder Mystery the thumbs up and declared himself 'Excited for the next issues.'

Issue One is priced £1.40/$1.99 or equivalent 

'Daley's surreal murder mystery series never fails to be entertaining, the level of research that goes into them, along with truly surreal twists fuse together to create something very original in feel.'

For the full review check out http://therottingzombie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/the-butcher-of-banner-cross-issue-1-by.html

About the Art 'The usual primary colours and bizzaro look is replaced by pen and ink, all black and white that does suit the morbid tone well and it is good to see none of the background details is lost.'



CDComics are available from all the following download sites

Meadowhell and Robin Hood Reviewed

Dustin and the Guys at Comic $astards have shifted their site to a new address, so the links to their reviews of Robin Hood 2020 and Meadowhell sort of disappeared, but being thoughtful and caring souls, I was sent the new links by email.
