About.
London Calling is an ongoing project by Joe Miskelly.
In dystopian England, central London has become a slum filled with violence, and music of the disenfranchised. Punk and metalhead gangs have pushed the police out and now run the streets and bars, collecting their protection money and working as hired muscle and killers.
Our story begins when a vigilante called Red Star ambushes Freddy Casbah and members of his gang the Punk Dragnets. His friends are killed but Freddy is rescued by a young woman, Charly Hendricks.
Charly decides to help Freddy take down Red Star and his group which the newspapers have dubbed "The Four Horsemen."
Meanwhile, Management has tasked two scouse agents Terry Kingston and Nicholas Washington to head to London from Liverpool and figure out what went down between Red Star and the Punk Dragnets.
What starts as Charly's naive wish to rail against an absentee government and to be part of the punk and gang culture quickly spirals out of control into clashes with rival gangs, terrorists, and shadowy organisations. Filled with brutal violence, Neo-Nazis, and vengeful killing sprees, it is only a matter of time before the city is torn apart.
Behind The Scenes
By Joe Miskelly
The idea for this series came around a couple of years ago and it stopped and started several times before I decided to it alone, I’m not an artist, but I feel the punk mantra of just pick up and play, fits this series well, So I just started writing and drawing. I’m excited to see this series develop and advance.
