Capital P Book One is the first part of a twelve-issue comic book maxi-series from writer Sam Gardner Jr and artist Jerome Canty. The official tag line is “A hero with a no killing rule. A villain with a death sentence. And a lawman standing between them.”

It’s the story of a masked man with a no killing rule who subdues a criminal. Things get complicated when he hands him over to a justice system that may be at odds with his beliefs. The book was launched at DevCon Plymouth in March 2024 to an overwhelmingly positive reaction and continues to grow internationally online at www.capeversecomics.com and in person at events throughout the UK.

Here’s the full synopsis:

In the city of Chicago, cold winds aren’t the only thing that cut through the night. A killer is on the loose and a masked man with a Capital P upon his chest is first at the scene. Raised on four colour concepts of morality by the comic books that inspired his calling, this city’s newest protector must come to terms with a very chilling discovery. He’ll have to learn what that means for him in a world that’s a far cry from the pages of a superhero story. This is not a simple tale of good triumphing over evil.

Capital P is published by Capeverse Comics, a label set up by Sam and his wife, Chloe. You can find a video on their website in which Sam talks about the book and his passion for superheroes, while Jerome discusses his 2000 AD influences. The comic can be purchased digitally and in print through capeversecomics.com and followers can access the social media platforms through the website.

To get a truly immersive first look at the comic, a trailer has been created, complete with cinematic music and an American voice cast. You can view the trailer below.

Sam also took part in a Capital P talk at the Devcon event in Plymouth, which can be viewed on Facebook.
