British Urban Decay

[feeona]

Hello,

I don't read graphic novels so forgive me for my ignorance. But does anyone know of any graphic novels which show british urban decay. I'm looking for something that shows a down and out character. A real hard luck story in contemporary britain. It is a research assignment. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

The Vertigo series called Hellblazer is full of that. Sure its supernatural,magus main character.

But you wont see more and better comics stories about urban british decay. It helped that many great british writers wrote that series.

In one of the latest GN collection of the recent stories. The story is called Joyride:

Constantine discovers that there is a supernatural cause for the violence, crime and drug abuse of South London's Hunger Hill housing estate, and he must bring this cycle of misery and violence to an end.



You cant get more urban than a story about crime,violence,drugs,human suffering in a concrete jungle.

You could try reading 'Vinyl Underground' Its a crime-noir series. Its described as feeling like Hellblazer meets the Mod Squad.
