Failed 1960s pop star Barry Dyer is now the mysterious Hawksmore. Poor servant girl Milly Hopkins has found a classic of feminist literature that won't be published for many decades. And reluctant liquidator Aubrey Street is unsure whether she's here to save or kill Milly Hopkins. It's 1891…a place where three destinies will meet.

One-time Entertainment Weekly's "Man of the Year," Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of what comic books could do. The hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man paradigm, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS) as "the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page." Milligan is currently working on other film, comic and non-comic book projects.
