'Patroclus is the son of Menoetius the Argonaut, and Philomela. He is a captain of men, he is respected by all, and he is one of the finest warriors amongst the Achaeans.

'Achilles is the son of King Peleus and the nymph Thetis. He is a demi-god, he is the greatest warrior at the siege of Troy, and possibly the greatest warrior to have ever lived.

'They love each other with a passion beyond compare.

'Proud Heart: The Love Of Achilles reinvigorates the tale of their love from Homer’s The Iliad. It is one of the earliest and greatest love stories from the western canon.'

'Going straight is no way to die…

'…or so Simon and Nancy figured.

'Badasses with cool nicknames, cooler powers, they loved the dark side. Their names were in the papers, their crew was feared and they were deep in an evil love.

'But that was a while back. No one tells you what the dentist bill is like when a superhero hits you in the face. Or mad science budgets. Or jail time.

'These days, no big scores, no names in the papers, no costumes. Safe. Dull.

'But now there’s an opportunity. Come out of retirement. Big cash, big excitement.

'There’s just one problem. They’re crooks now, not villains. No costumes, no dramas.

'For Simon and Nancy, what’s the real score? Money, or action?'

1 y separately published work icon Unmasked #3 Christian Read , Gary Chaloner (illustrator), Applecross : Gestalt Publishing , 2015 19431459 2015 single work graphic novel

'Simon and Nancy are back with the crew, pulling heists like professional criminals.

'But even though they're making the fat money, it just doesn't have the juice they need. It doesn't have the thrill, or the daring or the drama. It doesn't give them the sweet, sweet opportunity to punch a supehero in the mother@&*!ing face!

'Not everyone is happy with their recklessness though. Cracks are forming between who is a criminal and who is a villain...'
