continues to cultivate his standing as one of the most talented and prolific graphic novelists in the world, and his latest book collects the first eight issues of the -illustrated Gravel. The series' main character, William Gravel, has appeared in previous Ellis miniseries Strange Kiss, Stranger Kisses and Strange Killings, all published by Avatar Press.
Bill Gravel is a combat magician. In the tradition of Vertigo's Hellblazer hero John Constantine, he is a crude, violent, grumpy soul. But, unlike Constantine, who can be charming when the right (or wrong) writer gets hold of him, Gravel appears to have no redeeming features as a character, murdering his magician colleagues to obtain a magical manuscript he's not even sure he wants. Fans of the aforementioned Hellblazer will love the nihilistic , world-weary hero, and Bloody Liars contains the ultra-detailed violence and explicit language that is a pre-requisite of Ellis's indie comics work. Get yourself a fistful of Gravel!
