☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collected edition brings together the 1993 Tundra UK miniseries The Bogie Man: Chinatoon, a sequel to the original Bogie Man story. Written by John Wagner and Alan Grant with art by Robin Smith, it follows the delusional Francis Forbes Clunie, a mental patient who believes he is Humphrey Bogart, as he becomes entangled in a noir-inspired crime caper set in Glasgow's Chinatown. The volume collects the full four-issue series, blending dark humor and film noir homage with the creators' signature gritty style.
In "Chinatoon Chapter One: Barefoot In The Pork," delusional former patient Francis Clunie—still convinced he's a Humphrey Bogart character—flees Spinbinnie Secure and lands in Glasgow, where he encounters the enigmatic Taiwan Lil. Written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with art by Robin Smith and lettering by Ellie de Ville, this striking issue launches a gritty, surreal journey through the city’s underbelly, all rendered in Smith’s distinctive, atmospheric style. The cover, also by Robin Smith, captures the story’s moody, off-kilter tone.
Francis Clunie, delusional and still convinced he’s a Humphrey Bogart character, escapes from Spinbinnie Secure and lands in Glasgow, where he immediately spots Koo Chin—Taiwan Lil—amid the city’s chaos. With his mind still tangled in movie roles and his sense of reality fraying, Clunie’s next move leads him straight into a bizarre encounter at a Chinese restaurant, where the line between performance and madness begins to blur.
