British indie comics publisher Moonface Press has launched a website to support the release of its forthcoming graphic novel, Septic Isle.

The site – www.britainisbroken.com – features a free PDF download of the book’s first 10 pages, plus information about the characters and plot.

Septic Isle – solicited in August’s issue of Dimaond Previews and shipping in October – is written by award-winning creator Andy Winter (Hero Killers, Blood Psi), drawn by Mick Trimble (MC², The Many Worlds Of Jonas Moore) and boasts a wraparound cover by Declan Shalvey (Hero Killers, Freak Show).

Andy and Declan were the creative team on Hero Killers, which won last year’s Eagle Award for Best Black and White Comicbook – British.

Septic Isle, a tale of spies and skullduggery, comes perfect-bound with a full-colour cover and black and white interior art. The 52-page title has a 42-page main story and a sketchbook section. It retails for $5.95 (£3.95).
