Comics megastar Gail Simone joins us on The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast to chat about her revival of the legendary Misty, the late ’70s horror comic aimed at girls. With the new anthology special out now, Gail and host Steve Morris discuss how and why horror comics work and Gail’s obsession with British pubs, among much else!

Things then get romantic (kind of!) with Sarah Gordon, one of the artists on Roxy, the brand new anthology that’s just launched on Kickstarter! Part of an incredible roster of talent, Sarah chats about her work and comic book romance.

Roxy: A Contemporary Romance Anthology to Get Your Heart Racing!

It’s truly going to be the summer of love – Rebellion is delighted to announce its forthcoming brand new romance comic, Roxy!

Launching on Kickstarter on Monday 3 June with a host of exclusive rewards, merch, and surprises for backers, Roxy is guaranteed to leave you gasping for air! 

Available in digital, paperback or hardback editions, with covers from superstar artists Tula Lotay, Hannah Templer and Marguerite Sauvage, Roxy will feature four unexpected and dynamic stories of fun and flirty love and lust from some of the best storytellers in comics today:

  • a brand new supermodel heist thriller from Dracula, Motherf**ker power couple Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson
  • a spirited walk in the undead woods from artist writer Sarah Gordon (Vicious Creatures)
  • a trip back in time to the regency era from GLAAD & Eisner-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio and Sterric (De Vloek van Rood);
  • a futuristic romance between man and mech courtesy of Nadia Shammas (Squire, Ms. Marvel) and Jaws Stone (Dames Zine: Magical Knights)

Shipping for fans old and new worldwide. Whatever your level of spice, Roxy has something for you as it revives the spirit of classic British romance comics for the 21st century.

Originally launched in 1958, the original Roxy ran for 288 weekly issues which caught the imagination of young readers across Britain. Now, the title returns for an all-new anthology featuring four modern romance stories bound to inspire a whole new generation.
