“Crime has descended on the normally tranquil riviera - a solid gold sculpture on loan from the Gurgleheim Museum has been stolen and the local police force are well out of their depth. They need help and they need it fast.
But local Henshin Hero King Gianthead Fighter Policeman O.X. is lost in a waking reverie of lucid dreams and his potential replacements - like Modern Tahzrn and Danny Kildare The Space Priest - aren't faring much better.
And why are people going into The Great Exhibition Of 11851, the pop-up selfie experience in the middle of town, but not coming out again?
Fortunately, Marge has picked up the trail and has a plan to catch the villains and save the day - if only she can clear her name for a crime she didn't commit!
Told through the twisted creative lens of Hurk in his long-awaited full-length technicolour debut, Jinx Freeze is a heist story unlike any you've read before!”
“a madcap foray into a meandering mindscape of outlandish oddballs from one of the UK’s most underappreciated masters of the form” Broken Frontier
“It makes Inception look as pedestrian as Blue Peter and honestly it’s one of my favourite comics ever. I do love a bit of weird and this one lets the freak flag fly”
Comicbook News
“...the more I pore over it, the more I come to see the “little things” that come together to form the “big picture” are all there, either in plain sight or hiding in it. Here’s what I do know : I didn’t want it to end, and when it did, I wanted to start reading it all over again. And whaddya know? That’s exactly what I did”
Four Color Apocalypse
“pirated from television, print media and blurred memories, this is a sublimely entertaining romp you must not miss”
Now Read This!
“Lord Hurk injects so much outlandish storytelling into this comic (along with a healthy dose of humor that resulted in me laughing out loud a few times) that it goes from confusing, to overwhelming, to a weird place of over-the-top serendipity”
The Newest Rant
“It’s easy not to notice the subtle downbeats while you’re distracted by bizarre TV detective parodies, quotes, references to a myriad of high and low cultural touchstones, and long-dead celebrities reasserting themselves. A hijacked séance to scare tearaways onto the path of righteousness is pure Carry On hilarity through a Tales of The Unknown filter”.
