Autumn Terror In The London Underground

London 1942. The true horror wasn't from the air or in the streets...it was Underground. As German bombs pummel the city of London during the Blitz, the leaves of autumn begin to fall and so do the victims. A young boy's fascination with the work of a possible local serial killer plunges him into a life-long obsession that ultimately will become a quest for revenge. The story of Autumn is told on a number of levels: a coming of age story, a tale of revenge, a study in obsession, and a post war Gothic horror story. Set in and under London, the main characters are not the victims, or the hero, but the dark labyrinth of the Underground and what terror it could hold. Now, after nine years of autumnal atrocities and Scotland Yard unable to stop the killings, a now grown James Turrell is forced to make a fateful decision and descends into the stygian abyss of the Underground, believing himself fully prepared and ready to confront the object of his obsession. But he isn't, for terror can manifest itself in many forms. Collects the complete Autumn comic book series 1-3.

During World War II Alan Caillou was on a British Intelligence deep penetration patrol in the Western Desert of Africa when he was captured by the Italians in February 1943. This is the story of his capture and subsequent escape after being sentenced for execution for being a spy; brilliantly told as to his experiences during that time.
