If you like comics then you'll know 2000ad - Britain's own weekly - sometimes the serials make it into graphic novels and this is the case with this historical alternative universe set in the Restoration. The bumph reads:
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
London, 1668. It is two years since the city was devestated by the Great Fire, the inferno caused by a comet passing over the capital.
