Preview: DEATH WISH
Reading time: 1 minute
The latest release from the Treasury of British Comics is out in July, with Death Wish. Described as Evel Knievel meets the Phantom of the Opera, this is like the original Fast and the Furious from the heyday of British comics! The series started off in Speed before they were merged with Tiger. Death Wish follows Blake Edmonds, who after an accident that disfigured his face horribly, publicly announced that he would henceforth undertake any stunt offered to him, for big money, so long as there was a fair chance that he wouldn't survive it!
Check out the preview below! This is a series that is fondly remembered by fans and will be released on the 11th July.

Blake Edmonds had it all - fame, money, looks... and then the world-famous F1 driver suffered a terrible accident which left him hideously disfigured. Fashioning a mask to hide his terrible visage, Edmonds has taken on a new career as a stuntman, flirting with death on a regular basis. Mashing together the 70s F1 popularity wave with a macabre, uncanny horror and visceral action, Death Wish was a hit across the nation. Here the original strips are re-mastered in their entirety.
