STEED & MRS PEEL NEEDED (2014)

"WHY WE LOVE IT: Here at BOOM! we love our pop culture history and STEED AND MRS. PEEL, the original Avengers, are a cornerstone of the foundation of modern spy fiction. We're honored to contribute to a legacy that spans over 50 years! This time, Ian Edginton (HINTERKIND, LEVIATHAN) joins us as our first English writer on the series for epic Spy-Fi action. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: The classic Avengers television show was one of the first British television shows to cross the Atlantic in the mid-1960s. John Steed and Emma Peel were instrumental in forming our view of smart, stylish spy heroes and Edginton will take them on their strangest, most psychedelic adventure yet. WHAT'S IT ABOUT: When an old associate of John Steed is killed, a grand conspiracy is suspected. This will take Steed and Peel to a strange village, where one of the spies finds themself a prisoner."

"John Steed continues the quest for the truth about his fellow agent, uncovering some secrets about the remote seaside resort he's investigating-and the locals are willing to go to extreme measures to keep Steed quiet. Meanwhile, Mrs. Peel weaves her way through the London Underworld before hitting the beach, as the return of Britain's coolest secret agents continues. "

"As John Steed fights for his life inside the not as quiet as it seems seaside community, Emma Peel needs allies, and finds them in the most unlikely of sources, as the first arc in the super spies' return comes to a smashing conclusion."

"The start of a brand-new adventure of the original Avengers! When superagents Steed and Mrs. Peel receive news of spooky doings in Her Majesty's prisons, it's time to investigate. Could this be the return of an old foe?"
