Shades – Volume 1
What becomes of a nation’s heroes after they’ve won the war that lost an empire?
Shades is an action-fuelled story spanning five thousand years of British history; a two-volume graphic novel which asks the question “What makes a hero?” and examines the characteristics and traits which have come to define the British national psyche.
In this, the first of the two volumes, retired tailor Stanley Miller wants only to heal the rift in his relationship with his daughter. However, as shadowy forces from the past gather, he finds himself instead trying to reunite a motley band of one-time heroes against the growing threat to the nation. Heroes that include a First Century warrior queen, a WW2 fighter pilot and a prehistoric shaman!
