Vertigo: Graphic Content

Just days away from publication and GREEK STREET has people (well, not just any people, some of the most renowned names in comic history) yelling its praises from the US and across the pond from London. Ah, London, the setting of GREEK STREET and all its glorious inhabitants.

“Sex, death, ambition, revenge and a reminder that some stories are too true and too dangerous to ever die. GREEK STREET crackles with Promethean fire.” —Grant Morrison

“A mind-bending mashup of ancient myth and modern mayhem!” —Dave Gibbons, artist of WATCHMEN

“A new monthly from the man who brought us Skin, Skreemer and Bad Company? Count me in!” —Garth Ennis, writer of PREACHER

“A spellbinding blend of modern crime and classical tragedy, GREEK STREET sparkles with wit, style and energy, yet is as brutal and unrelenting as the mythical Furies themselves. I can’t get enough of it.” —Cliff Chiang

And for those of us looking forward to shouting TGIF! we have this toast to GREEK STREET by Lee Bermejo, artist of the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller, JOKER:

“Milligan & Gianfelice mix delicious elixir with GREEK STREET. With a combination of totally unique characters, challenging themes, and a complex, multi-layered narrative, you’ve got one hell of a stiff drink. It’s aged well, with the smooth taste of Greek tragedy mixed with the tart bite of urban noir. But don’t just down it…SIP it. Let the flavors sink in and then go back for some more.”
