Crime/Tragedy

"Shakespeare would be proud."
Greg McElhatton, iComics

"Johnston and Weldele succeed in not only doing The Bard justice, but in producing a quite superb graphic novel."
Matthew Craig, Robot Fist

Returned home to the East End after a bitter territorial war, Julius - a gangster boss, or "Guv'nor" - discovers his position as beloved leader is not so secure as he might have thought.

When another Guv'nor, Mark, asks Julius to assume overall control of the East End, it's too much for Julius' right-hand man Brett - who conspires with rival Guv'nor Cassidy to usurp the crown...

JULIUS is a modern reworking of Shakespeare's classic play Julius Caesar, set against the backdrop of organised crime in East End London.
