The Comet Returns

I woke up to a comic sized package waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs, but when I opened it to read about the latest escapades of Booster Gold and his Justice League International I was in for a shock. For lurking inside the package wasn’t a comic, it was something far stranger and magical; the sound of a ghost train slithering through a spaghetti western with eerie ad-libs and shouts spewing over the sides like Bonejangles and his Bone Boys doing “Ghost Riders in the Sky”. 

Of course, it’s the new epic Flipron single “The Comet Returns”, the ad-libs and shouts coming from the legendary Specials front man Neville Staple. It will be released 10th September via Tiny Dog Records with the new album Firework Shoes following in October, so save your pennies to get a seat on the ride!
