Punks Not Dead: London Calling

In 2019, IDW launched Punks Not Dead: London Calling, a five-issue series written by David Barnett and illustrated by Martin Simmonds. This sequel picks up the story of Fergie, a punk teenager who can see and communicate with ghosts, as he navigates a supernatural conspiracy lurking beneath the streets of modern London. Barnett and Simmonds blend occult horror with the raw energy of punk culture, creating a visually striking and genre-bending tale that expands on the original Punks Not Dead miniseries. It matters as a bold, idiosyncratic addition to the creator-owned horror-comedy landscape, proving that the punk spirit—and its ghosts—are far from dead.
