CSI meets Harry Potter in this three-volume collection of graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch, writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series, Andrew Cartmel author of The Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who Writer James Swallow and Emmy Award-winning writer, Celeste Bronfman.

These all-new graphic novels are all based on the best-selling Rivers of London series.

A stunning box set edition of three bestselling graphic novels in the Rivers of London series, starring Ben Aaronovitch’s laconic trainee wizard and budding detective, Peter Grant.

Vol 10: DEADLY EVER AFTER
Illustrations from a mysterious book of fairy tales drawn in the late 1800s are coming to life in the 21st Century and causing havoc. The illustrations were originally painted by a Victorian artist called Jeter Day who disappeared one night in an enchanted forest when he was spirited away by tree nymphs never to be seen again…

Now, with the enchantment accidentally broken, Jeter has returned to our world bitter and resentful and woe betide any man who stands in his way. With Peter and Nightingale busy on another case, it falls to sisters Olympia and Chelsea and the help of the Foxes to stop Jeter and save the day.

Vol 11: HERE BE DRAGONS
Some say a dangerous monster is at large above the streets of London.
A monster red in tooth and claw, with wings, and fire for breath. And its name… Wyvern! After a rash of strange UFO sightings above the capital, Wizard in training Peter Grant and his mentor, Thomas Nightingale, the Met’s only sanctioned wizard, takes to the skies to investigate rumours of a Wyvern. As the mystery deepens, Peter and Thomas find themselves caught between two groups of hunters – one human, one fae. To save the skies of the city, Peter will have to face the enraged beast – but can he end things peacefully… Or will he be forced to destroy the last wyvern?

Vol 12: STRAY CAT BLUES
A cat-woman, a notorious London gangster, and a brothel specialising in chimeras. Old frenemies become allies in the latest Rivers of London adventure when a mysterious cat-woman comes to The Folly looking for help to free her sisters from a notorious chimera brothel run by London gangster Monty and his sinister magically endowed mother, Mrs. Napier.

Series art is by the always excellent José María Beroy (who has worked on the majority of the Rivers of London comics). DEADLY EVER AFTER is co-authored with Celeste Bronfman. HERE BE DRAGONS is co-authored with James Swallow.

Posted on Wednesday, March 29th, 2023

The German edition of DEADLY EVER AFTER is out today! The tenth story-arc in the Rivers of London comic series, UND WENN SIE NICHT GESTORBEN SIND… is published by Panini. Written by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel and Celeste Bronfman, with artwork by José María Beroy, here’s the synopsis…

Ein märchenhaft-gruseliges Abenteuer aus dem Peter Grant-Universum! Geschichten aus einem geheimnisvollen Märchenbuch, das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden ist, entwickeln im 21. Jahrhundert ein sehr bedrohliches Eigenleben. Irgendwie scheint alles mit dem viktorianischen Künstler Jeter Day zu tun zu haben, der eines Nachts in einem verzauberten Wald verschwand, als er von Baumnymphen entführt und nie mehr gesehen wurde … Als Olympia und Chelsea, die Töchter der Flussgöttin Themse, versehentlich einen Bannzauber brechen, kehrt Jeter zurück. Doch die Zeit bei den Nymphen ist nicht spurlos an ihm vorübergegangen. Verdreht, verbittert und rachsüchtig betritt er eine Welt, die er weder wiedererkennt noch mag. Er möchte nichts weiter, als sein altes Leben zurückhaben – und dazu ist ihm jedes Mittel recht. Da Peter und Nightingale mit einem anderen Fall beschäftigt sind, versuchen die Schwestern Olympia, Chelsea und die Füchse Jeter selbst zu stoppen … das Chaos ist also kaum noch aufzuhalten.

The book is published in English by Titan Comics (who have published all of the Rivers of London comics in the UK and North America to date). Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Illustrations from a mysterious book of fairy tales drawn in the late 1800s are coming to life in the 21st Century and causing havoc. The illustrations were originally painted by a Victorian artist called Jeter Day who disappeared one night in an enchanted forest when he was spirited away by tree nymphs never to be seen again…

Now, with the enchantment accidentally broken by Olympia and Chelsea, daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames, Jeter, twisted by his time spent with the nymphs, has returned to our world bitter and resentful. It is a world he neither recognises nor likes. All he wants is his life returned to him and woe betide any man who stands in his way.

With Peter and Nightingale busy on another case, it falls to sisters Olympia and Chelsea with the help of the Foxes to stop Jeter and save the day.
