God Save The Queen

Published by Vertigo, God Save the Queen is a new hardcover graphic novel written by Mike Carey and lavishly illustrated by John Bolton. Set in North London and the Faerie kingdom, it tells the story of a rebellious teenager who falls in with a group of slacker faeries. She discovers that for faeries, the ultimate rush is Red Horse, a drug made from heroin and human blood. It’s a dangerous high, and when she gets hooked she’s drawn into a civil war that becomes a struggle to the death between Queen Titania and her predecessor, Queen Mab. Definitely for mature readers, this looks to be a darkly imaginative collaboration between two talented creators.
