JANUARY<br />
How are the Bluecoats to turn circus artists into disciplined<br />
soldiers — when they don’t even speak the same language?!<br />
Captured by a mysterious army just as they<br />
escaped a Campton overrun with ‘zombie’<br />
children, Dodzi’s group, along with what’s<br />
left of the Clan of the Shark, discover an<br />
entire civilisation, ruled over by children<br />
who have been in the In-Between-World for a<br />
long, long time. Strict rules, a caste system,<br />
bizarre superstitions... All new obstacles<br />
for the group to overcome — although Saul<br />
is being treated like a messiah. And over it<br />
all hangs the threat of the sinister Midnight<br />
Child…<br />
Stark’s constant, reckless charging has once<br />
again depleted the 22nd Cavalry. Faced with<br />
an understandable dearth of volunteers, the<br />
Army’s brass drafts — without telling them —<br />
some freshly arrived immigrants. And Blutch<br />
and Chesterfield are tasked with instructing<br />
them in the art of riding down the enemy.<br />
But there’s a problem: the new recruits only<br />
speak Russian! And while those Cossacks are<br />
already fantastic riders, they have no desire<br />
to die for the glory of the Union…<br />

“The Vanishing is such a good beginning,<br />
focused, a comic that kids will absolutely<br />
love with adventure and intrigue, and 5<br />
great characters to get behind. The first<br />
volume sets the tone firmly — smart drama<br />
with the potential to go in a variety of<br />
directions [...]”<br />

“I think that The Bluecoats genuinely has<br />
something in it for all ages. [...] It’s got a<br />
good solid plot, a wry sense of humour and<br />
some thought provoking undertones.”<br />
