Previewing New British Indie Comic Capital P

Welcome To The Capeverse

Capital P is a new UK indie 12 part maxiseries from creators Sam Gardner Jr and Jerome Canty and here’s a preview of it and a few details…

Capital P Book One is the first part of a twelve issue comic book maxi-series from writer Sam Gardner Jr and artist Jerome Canty, with the official tag line reading “A hero with a no killing rule. A villain with a death sentence. And a lawman standing between them.” It’s the story of a masked man with a no killing rule who subdues a criminal. Things get complicated when he hands him over to a justice system that may be at odds with his beliefs. It was launched at DevCon Plymouth in March 2024 to an overwhelmingly positive reaction and continues to grow internationally online at www.capeversecomics.com and in person at events throughout the UK.

SYNOPSIS:

In the city of Chicago, cold winds aren’t the only thing that cut through the night. A killer is on the loose and a masked man with a Capital P upon his chest is first at the scene. Raised on four colour concepts of morality by the comic books that inspired his calling, this city’s newest protector must come to terms with a very chilling discovery.  He’ll have to learn what that means for him in a world that’s a far cry from the pages of a superhero story. This is not a simple tale of good triumphing over evil.

ABOUT:

Capital P is written by Sam Gardner Jr with art by Jerome Canty and it’s published by Capeverse Comics, a label set up by Sam and his wife, Chloe.
