Inked By Andrew Hennesy
Colored By Laura Villari
Meet the spy you’ll love to hate! From Moscow to Beijing, everyone knows the world’s top espionage agent is Sir Charles Basildon of Her Majesty’s Secret Service… but no one knows what he really looks like. In truth, Basildon is merely an identity passed on from one agent to the next, building up a reputation so feared and respected that the mere mention of Sir Charles is enough to make rogue nations change their wicked ways. But now times are changing, and not only is the next top spy in training a Yank…but she’s also a woman! Can Stephanie Shelley, a thoroughly modern American, live up to the role of the legendary British super spy? And can she bear to learn the ropes from the current Sir Charles—the most unstoppable, deadly, and infuriatingly sexist Basildon ever?! Find out in the standalone, new-reader-friendly adventure series by Tony Bedard (NEGATION, ROUTE 666) and Mike Perkins (RUSE)!
