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



CDComics are available for PC, Tablet and Phone from the following websites

Sheffield United Comic

This isn't 'Roy of the Rovers', unless they are playing an away game in the 'Twilight Zone'. Sure it has comic book pages dedicated to match coverage of an F.A. Cup, that sees the Blades face, Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, Arsenal and Wolves, but it's not just about football.


It's  more 'League of Gentlemen' than 'League One Round Up,' and here's a few comments made by an independent reviewer.

Football Crazy: The Theatre Of Nightmares On The Road To Insanity, part of the CD Comics Surreal Murder Mystery Series, is certainly a different type of comic, and a world away from the mainstream. Whether you have an interest in the beautiful game or not, there’s enough there to keep anyone hooked, and the fantastically off-the-wall pay off makes for an amusingly different ending to this sort of tale, poking fun at the numerous, seemingly massed produced crime dramas that tend to flood the TV schedules. Once again Jim Rosenthal’s stellar FA Cup draws get sent up in hilarious style, along with regional news programme, Look North, which pretty much hits the nail on the head. With these quirks adding to an overall brilliant story, you really are missing out on some genius story telling if you don’t give Football Crazy a go.
