Mr Jones’s Smoking Bones is an occult mystery set across London, India, and the dimensions beyond death. London,1867. The East India Company has fallen, and a smoking skeleton is k illing ex-company members. A drug-addled Indian detective with a deep-rooted hatred of the British Empire is drawn into the investigation and enters a world of secret societies and the occult. Fortean Times describes Mr Jones’s Smoking Bones as a series: “…where science and the occult met in the shadow of the British Empire… An excellent comic told from a different perspective to others set in this era.” BSFA, Eagle and Hugo Award winning writer Paul Cornell says: “An extraordinary work, an afterlife mystery approached almost as science fiction, with layers of politics and history. It feels like nobody’s written any previous comics and a master stylist has started anew without reference to genre or medium. In other words, Iqbal Ali is the new Alan Moore.” Published by B7 Comics. 188 pages, b&w Written by: Iqbal Ali | Art: Priscilla Grippa Show more
