Underground #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spontaneous Combustion" in Underground #nn (1987) delivers a raw, grounded look at street life in a British urban setting, following Chas and Rory as they navigate a world of petty crime and shifting loyalties under the shadow of the Fagin-like Grimes. Written and illustrated by Patrick McEown, Rob Clark, and Craig Taillefer—with inks by McEown, Clark, and Taillefer, and lettering by Shark—this story takes a sharp turn when Chas, after a violent clash with skinheads that ends in tragedy, is pulled from the streets by a compassionate nurse in training, Stephanie. The cover, penciled and inked by McEown, Clark, and Taillefer, captures the tension of a moment just before everything changes.
In the grim underbelly of 1987 London, Scratch—a disillusioned squatter with a past—navigates a world of debt, violence, and fleeting connections. After the brutal death of his friend Toadie and a violent beating by skinheads, he finds unexpected refuge in the kindness of Stephanie, a student nurse who offers him shelter without promises. As old alliances fray and the shadow of Grimes looms, Scratch begins to question whether escape is just another kind of surrender.
