The wait is over – Lou Scannon #6: Loose Cannons is now available from www.louscannon.co.uk!

Uniting plot threads and characters from the first five stand-alone issues, Loose Cannons is Lou’s most explosive, action-packed small-press comic entry yet! And it still manages to cram the humour in amongst the fireworks! Remarkable. Probably.

Produced by Eagle Award finalists Dan Harris,  Kris Carter and Jim Bampfield, with letters by HdE, issue 6 comes with a full colour wraparound cover by ‘Garth’ artist Huw-J. As with previous issues it’s as daft as ever and well worth tracking down – as if that was hard, with the web link right up there in the first paragraph.

“It also contains ‘making-ofs’, a letters page and other additional content!” enthuses Kris. “Plus, we give the medical robot chain-guns in this issue, so that’s probably worth a look.”

The 32 page, B&W book is currently available for £3.00 plus p&p from http://www.louscannon.co.uk.

What, another web link? What clever marketing ploy is this?
