Featuring art by David Lloyd, the series featured the first appearance of the Special Executive, a group of mercenaries that Moore would write into his Captain Britain run and Chris Claremont would bring into Excalibur years later.

One more project I'm working on: A friend and I have created a comic book called Miskatonic High. Five teens take on H.P. Lovecraft’s monsters and their small-town high school … They’re just not sure which is worse.
We successfully launched the first four issues on kickstarter, and are just finishing up our fifth, which you can buy (PDF or physical copy) from here. It has received plenty of rave reviews:
Jenn Marshall of Sirens of Sequentials said: “Miskatonic High is a fun story that balances everything you want in a good horror story. There is some gore, but not so much that you get overwhelmed. The jokes are funny, but they don’t make the story feel like a parody of something else. It was well thought out, and I cannot wait to see where it is going to go next.” Read the full review

Goshdarn Geeky raved of issue 2: "Miskatonic High has proven it can hit us right in the heart with a character-centric story that goes past the cosmic horror, and I hope it can continue to deliver." Read the full review
