What makes a successful comics creator? How can storytelling stay exciting and innovative? How can genres be kept vital? Writers and artists in the highly competitive U.S. comics mainstream have always had to explore these questions but they were especially pressing in the 1980s. As comics readers grew older they started calling for more sophisticated stories. They were also no longer just following the adventures of popular characters—writers and artists with distinctive styles were in demand. DC Comics and Marvel went looking for such mavericks and found them in the United Kingdom. Creators like Alan Moore (Watchmen, Saga of the Swamp Thing), Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, Flex Mentallo) and Garth Ennis (Preacher) migrated from the anarchical British comics industry to the U.S. mainstream and shook up the status quo yet came to rely on the genius of the American system.

1915. German guns are on their way to Ireland. The British government faces its worst nightmare; insurrection at home while it struggles with bloody stalemate on the Western Front. A British spy, Sebastian Wolff of the new Secret Service Bureau, is given the task of hunting down its enemies: one a traitor reviled by the society that honoured him as a national hero; the other a German-American doctor who, instead of healing the sick, is developing a terrifying new weapon that he will use in the country of his birth. Wolff's mission will take him undercover into the corridors of power in Berlin, then across the Atlantic in a race against time to prevent the destruction of the ships and supplies Britain so desperately needs to stave off defeat.

“In a considerable proportion of diseases, it would fare as well, or better, with patients, in the actual condition of the medical art, as more generally practised, if all remedies, at least all active remedies, especially drugs, were abandoned." - Sir John Forbes, MD "Medicines succeed best when there is a tendency to get well." - Gull “The Truth Is Often More Helpful Than Drugs”. - Lord Dawson of Penn, Physician to H.M. the King, London Hospital in “B.M.J.”, 9 July 1921. “Drugs don't make you well, they make you worse! Health has a name, is called: Food, Medicine has a name, is called: Poisonous Drugs. Synthetic Pharmaceutical drugs are liver toxic, synthetic drugs accelerate the body into premature death. People are thus being poisoned to death, by what they call Medicine.” - Rui Gabirro “Spoiler Warning” This book contains information that is not taught at medical school. The Purpose of this Book “The present work is written for the double purpose of correcting error, and imparting truth. Its purpose is to state facts by which their pretensions may be judged.” - Dr. Frederick Hollick, MD in “Neuropathy or The True Principles of the Art of Healing the Sick”, 1847.
