It Came!
Checking Availibility...Description
1958. Driving through the British countryside, unthinkingly misogynistic space scientist, Dr. Boy Brett, and his companion, Doris Night, pop into a quaint village pub for a cheese ploughman's...
But waiting for them outside is a most unwelcome visitor: Grurk, an indestructible, monosyllabic robot from outer space, on a mission to harvest the British Blitz spirit for energy!
Pursuing Grurk in their Morris Minor, will Boy and Doris be able to save the British from a life without stiff upper lippedness, or will Her Majesty's Kingdom be forever resigned to a life down in the mouth?
Witty, satirical and a rollicking good laugh, IT CAME! is a stunning piece of work, infusing the best (and worst!) bits of the 1950s B-movie with whimsical British charm.

Reviews
"This wonderfully written and beautifully rendered volume is a work of real innovation. Capturing the pseudoscientific, misogynistic, and pipe-chomping "intellectuals" portrayed in low-budget horror films, the dialog is rife with laughs and double entendre. This is a treat for all ages." - Library Journal - starred review

Flat-out funny 1950´s tomfoolery that any fan of science fiction should own. Dan Boultwood, who did everything, is amazing! Overall grade: A+ - Sci Fi Pulse
Dan Boultwood, the creator/artist, manifests a lush animation-cel technique which brings about a real 1950s B-movie-style feel, with a firm tongue-in-cheek approach - Broken Frontier
Boultwood's story is solid storytelling. The art speaks for itself and I can't say enough about the quality of the drawings inked by Boultwood. I can't wait to see what happens next in issue #2.
