The Great British Bump-Off #4

The fourth issue of John Allison, Max Sarin, Sammy Borras, and Jim Campbell's delightfully murderous baking competition series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its mix of cozy charm and scheming mischief. Center stage, a blonde contestant flashes a sly, self-satisfied smirk while presenting a beautifully layered slice of cake, flanked by two horrified fellow bakers whose wide eyes and gaping mouths suggest something has gone very, very wrong in the tent. It's a wonderfully expressive cover that makes this 2023 Dark Horse series feel like essential reading for anyone who enjoys their mysteries served with a generous slice of dry British wit.
