LEFT ON MISSION “... reminiscent of Le Carré or even Fleming...”

DOUBLE O SECTION, the online source for all things espionage, had this to say about LEFT ON MISSION:

“...reminiscent of Le Carré or even Fleming... but the action is more in keeping with Bourne or Bond...”

Another humbling review. I am a huge fan of both Le Carré and Fleming, and have a particular affinity with Le Carré's work. I really tried to make LEFT ON MISSION a thinking man's action-packed thriller. I really am floored to be compared to such people like Le Carré. A friend once told me he thought LEFT ON MISSION was THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD for the War-on-Terror generation. Which I thought was a very cool observation. One my ego won't let me argue too much with! ;)

Of course, the War-on-Terror generation is one that is as familiar with graphic novels as the Cold War generation was with novels - so I thought that was quite apt. And of course, Francesco Francavilla did an incredible job of realizing this tale graphically - aided in a sublime way by colorist Martin Thomas. With this many talented people on board, I couldn't really lose with this project, could I?

More to come...
