Strawjack: The Terror of Romney Marsh Part Seven

At last! Another slice of Strawjack – The Terror of Romney Marsh, a steampunk-tinged graphic novel by Keith Page, steeped in piracy, smuggling and general skullduggery! With his permission, I’m republishing it here on Substack, leading into an initial subscriber only publication of the second Strawjack adventure, “Figgerty’s Gallop” next year.

Available now in print and digitally, Strawjack: The Terror of Romney Marsh is written and illustrated by Keith Page, lettered by Robin Jones and edited by John Freeman, with invaluable support from David Hailwood and a smashing series logo created by Jim Campbell.

Strawjack: The Terror of Romney Marsh is the creation of Keith Page. Inspired by the great British comics artists of the past such as Frank Hampson, Don Lawrence and Joe Colquhoun, he’s worked full-time in comics and illustration for almost 30 years. Subjects have ranged from television-related material such as Thunderbirds, science fiction, and war stories of all periods for Commando.

Keith is also the creator of several The Adventures of Charlotte Corday projects, some available online as well as those previously released in print. His published works also include The Casebook of Bryant and May: The Soho Devil, written by Christopher Fowler, and Hancock: The Lad Himself, written with Stephen Walsh, the story of comedian Tony Hancock, published by B7 Comics.
