Baltimore, or The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire

[Plynkes]

Found it: BLACK MAX. Presumably a take-off of "Blue Max", the Pour le Mérite Imperial German medal.

Wish I still had this comic. I had a full, feature length story when I was little.

wow, that sounds/looks really cool, I will try to get it

Thanks for the tip. I picked up the last copy at the local shop on Friday and it is great so far. The only downer is that I wrote a Chaos in Cairo/Carpathia mini-campaign based on WW1 vampires a few months back to be released on the Blue Moon site  and now I feel like a rip-off artist.

Film sounds great. Mignolas always a winner (even if the directer did do Blade Trinity).

On the relatives side I have rich noble relatives from Holland to Spain but only the British lot are poor :x . We keep ending up as soldiers or pirates, including one rather bizarre relative of mine who led a French Revolutionary Army(!) We're somewhere in the heraldry books though...

Abe Books have a copy in hardback for £8.11 (Baltimore, not a peerage. Gordon Brown probably charges more for those, or at least his predecessor did)

I believe the going rate for a peerage from our Dear Leader is about £100,000.

It was quite the nice read.  I found the setup of the story enjoyable and the ending suprising...

Just ordered my copy, eagerly waiting for the post to arrive

It was Blade II - if it had been Trinity - I don't think that redemption would have been possible!
