Kickback, the mobile version

David Lloyd has produced a special mobile comics-styled preview of his highly praised crime thriller Kickback, available to read on your mobile via wap.rokcomics.com.

The trailer comprises a special four-part preview for the book, first published in France by Editions Carabas and more recently in English by Dark Horse Comics.

"I enjoyed creating Kickback more than anything else I've produced in years," says creator David Lloyd of the book, an artist perhaps best known for V for Vendetta but whose credits include James Bond, War Stories, Captain America, Doctor Who, Sandman and many other titles.

"I always wanted to do a crime story that had the quality and style of some of the crime movies I admire," explains David, "where no-one says more than they need to in order to move the story along, and you care more about the people involved in it than the action sequences."

• The specially created four-part Kickback trailer is free to read on mobile and online, but if you want to take full advantage of the ROK Comics WAP site, subscribe to the service (www.rokcomics.com/subscribe) and access hundreds of comics at one low cost monthly rate.
