Devil’s Heritage joins STRIP Magazine line-up

Here’s the cover to Issue 3 of STRIP Magazine, on sale in UK comic shops next month.

The Devil’s Heritage is a new strip to the title, by Jerome Felix and Paul Gastine and the comic magazine’s first ongoing story from continental creators. The story was first published in France by Bamboo as L’Heriatge du Diable.

A mystery adventure set in 1938, the story opens with Paris-based artist Constant trying to find his lost love, Juliette – only to find a clue in a painting from the seventeenth century. But Constant isn’t the only person intrigued by the mystery – the Nazis are very interested, too. Soon the hunt is on to find Juliette – and the key to an ancient secret at Renne-le-Chateau.

“The myth of Rennes-le-Château is one many people are asionate about,” says Jerome of the story, which will eventually run over three spearate adventures. “It reminds them of Tintin: there are coded parchments, secret passages, mysterious men… and tragic deaths!”

Also in the issue:

• A special Black Ops Extreme ‘flashback’ story drawn by Nick (Judge Dredd Megazine) Dyer – whose art on this issue’s Strip Challenge entry, Black Dragon, secured him the commission (PJ Holden is back on the regular story in Issue 4)

• Wizard Wex battles a deadly monster in Age of Heroes from James Hudnall and John Ridgway

• Young Mia is drawn deeper into an ancient battle of the gods in Warpaint by Phil Hester and John McCrea

• Can a shark expert put an end to Hook Jaw in our classic strip from Ken Armstrong and Ramon Sola?

• Who is Bogey-Man Bob?

The issue also includes interviews with comic creators Jason Cobley and John Ridgway – and a special retrospective feature on Starlord, 2000AD‘s short-lived stablemate, the comic that first brought Britain Strontium Dog!
