Author: Ben Williams

Reading time: 1 minute

Russell Mark Olson's Gateway City series returns with its third volume, Smashed Up Things. And it's clearly popular, reaching its funding target of £1,500 in just 6 hours! Gateway City: Smashed Up Things was launched on the 7th of December on Kickstarter.

The new book is jam-packed with chases, gun fights, aerial exploits, and alien technology. The 56-page book features a pin-up by 2000AD favourite, P.J. Holden, and a Gateway City prose story.

Gateway City Vol 3 Smashed Up Things

The popular pulp/sci-fi comic charts the fallout of an alien invasion of Prohibition St. Louis. Our heroes, a crack team of investigators, are on the hunt for the assassins of a high-profile city prosecutor and the means to send the invaders packing. Help from beyond the stars is offered, but at what price?

"At its heart, Gateway City is a story about the conflict between power and the law and the resulting collateral damage. It’s a world of nuance and of shadows."

As well as the new book, exclusive bookplates, original art, and the previous two volumes are available through the campaign.

Gateway City Vol. III: Smashed Up Things will be funding on Kickstarter until the 22nd of December. So plenty of time is left if you want to jump on board!

"Smart storytelling, thoughtful design, great looking characters and world-building, and one hell of a story full of kinetic energy..."
