The second volume of the dazzling 2000 AD debut - mixing Hollywood noir and occult magic! The second volume of the supernatural noir thriller! In an alternate 1940s USA, WWII is over - but in this world, victory was secured with occult means. Now, magic is a part of everyday life, its practitioners commonplace. Mallory Hope is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user. He's also a private investigator, hired for all manner of down 'n' dirty jobs. Now his services have taken him to New York at the behest of his old army colleague, Alberto Modi, who has tried to use black magic for his own nefarious ends and to become the foremost gangster in the Big Apple. A gritty detective tale from Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton that blends classic Hollywood noir with the supernatural!

I can't recommend this book highly enough." - Comics Crusaders "grabbed me right away" - Multiversity "In Hope, Jimmy Broxton draws a chilling horror noir that combines occult symbolism with Hollywood glamor." - Doom Rocket
