SVK - Warren Ellis & D’Israeli



Two of my favourite comic people together again for the first time since Lazarus Churchyard which was way back.


SVK is a short little one-shot detailing the search for a missing item.  Said item it transpires has a massive security / personal liberty implications and needs to be recovered immediately.


The story itself is a fairly straight forward little spy tale.  It’s funny and fun and the art is, of course, lovely.  The really interesting thing here however is that it comes with a torch that when used allows you to see extra information – specifically thoughts – within the comic.  It isn’t an idea that is going to go any further.  The torch is awkward to hold and the special UV ink bleeds through the page giving ghost images.  It is however a great little gimmick and it was thoroughly enjoyable to get to do a second read through with extras.
