Strange Embrace #3 Released

By John Freeman on August 22, 2007

Strange Embrace #3 (the third issue in an eight-issue series) by British artist and writer David Hine is now on sale in specialist comic shops.

These days, Hine, who writes a regular column for comics news site Broken Frontier, is perhaps better known for mainstream comics such as X-Men: Civil War, but he was a regular contributor to many titles for Marvel UK in the past.

The comic, a modern gothic psycho-sexual tortured romance and is not for the nervous, has received high praise for many quarters and this digitally remastered edition is coloured by Flanimals co-creator Rob Steen.
