Brodie's Law

the highly acclaimed
graphic novel

What would the law mean, if every day
had a different face?

"I came to possess the power of anonymity and with it I became a law unto myself. But it came with a heavy price. Each journey into the body of another took me further into the darker recesses of the human mind. I am no longer alone-the voices within are getting louder.”
Brodie's Law is an action-packed thriller that destroys the methodology of the traditional anti-hero.

The Story

Jack Brodie, expert thief and professional killer, was on a routine assignment. He was well paid to break into a high tech lab and steal a disc that contained a top-secret experiment. His contractor is the CEO and shareholder of the research company, Eugene Della Cruz. A third party gets wind of the job; everything goes horribly wrong. It was a set up. Brodie escapes - barely alive.


It makes front-page news everywhere. Brodie suddenly becomes the most wanted man in Britain. He goes underground, seeking refuge away from the world. Even worse, for the first time he fails to see a way out. Things come apart fast...his son is kidnapped and he is framed for his ex-wife's murder. He begins to lose his sense of self-belief. Everything Brodie ever valued was gone. Forced to live like an animal, his hideout becomes his new home, only stepping out of the shadows under the cover of darkness.


Brodie has to fight back, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to find his son, clear his name and seek his revenge... with the help of Tomokai Yoshida a genetic scientist, Brodie from the bleakest point of his life - being the countries public enemy - finds a way to turn the tables. The disc he stole is a blue print for a process called Psycho Metamorphosis or PM13, a compound that stimulates a human's latent ability to morph from one human likeness to another, male or female.


Brodie quickly realizes the power that comes with anonymity: without a fixed identity, the law cannot track him. The compound was only a prototype and so is inherently unstable. Brodie never knows how long it will work and with each metamorphosis the process takes its toll. His victims once touched are left in a coma, helpless until their identity is returned. In essence Brodie becomes a soul reaper. The process of transformation is far from clean and Brodie partially retains the soul of each person he touches. Each journey into the body of another takes Brodie further into the darker recesses of the human mind. Brodie is no longer alone; with each passing day, the voices within grow louder.

The Characters

Jack Brodie

Jack Brodie

"I came to possess the power of anonymity and with it I became a law unto myself. but it came with a heavy price. Each journey into the body of another took me further into the darker recesses of the human mind. I am no longer alone - the voices within are getting louder." Jack Brodie

Jack calls other criminals "parasites", because they prey on the weak and vulnerable in society, boasting that he has never hurt a tax-paying citizen in his life. Jack views his 'career'; as a community service; those are his thoughts every morning when he looks at himself in the mirror. Perhaps from the very beginning Jack wore a mask, deceiving himself that eliminating hard-nosed criminals - was really a moral crusade to put criminal activity in the hands of someone righteous: namely himself.

He is a philosophical man, following an ancient Japanese Samurai code: of loyalty, honour and trust. Jack has never trusted anyone apart from one.

Tomokai Yoshida

Tomokai Yoshida

Tomokai is a beautiful young (Japanese) genetic scientist at P-FACT Research. She is quite simply a genius and very good at her profession, but does not have the confidence to go all the way since she had to leave Japan under acrimonious circumstances. Her billionaire father owns one of the largest phamaceutical companies in Japan. She falls in love with Jack and helps him out of his predicament. She knows her love hate relationship with Jack, is fraught with danger, but she sticks with him with the hopes of a better outcome.

Harry Wade

Harry Wade

Detective Wade is the covert agent sent by Scotland Yard to track down Jack Brodie and retrieve the stolen disc. He goes about his job in a low-key fashion and gets results by whatever means. He has a lot of experience in tracking down wanted criminals, because they never see him coming. He has a history with Jack; they were once childhood best friends. He rides around in his vintage Ford Capri and is very much like Jack, quick, intelligent and able to get out of any situation. He is a man committed to his job and his motivation to see Jack captured was business a usual but his strong ties with Jack later made him see things differently.

Sticks

Sticks

Curtly 'Sticks' Wilkins (a Rastafarian) informant and small time dealer. A very close friend of Jack. He trusts Jack with his life, having been saved once by Jack. He got his name Sticks from his onetime occupation as drummer for a reggae band in the 70's. He usually hangs out at his friend's barbershop called Krew Kuts. He is an informant for both the police and criminals alike. An arrangement that suits Jack perfectly. He has a wife called Rita who is a nurse and a daughter. Sticks is a funny easy going chap, but don't judge a book by its cover.

Eugene Della Cruz

Eugene Della Cruz

Utterly corrupt billionaire puppet master. A man who sees the fun side of evil. Eugene is the man in the West End; a city high-flyer, businessman and property developer. He owns the media friendly conglomerate Della Enterprise that is situated in London's Tower Bridge. A man driven by ambition, power and greed. Eugene has influential friends in high places. Dell Tilson is his nemesis, a business rival that he respects because of Dell's cold single-mindedness. Not at all sentimental, Eugene doesn't care who gets screwed over, just so long as he gets what he wants.

Dell Tilson

Dell Tilson

Delbert Tilson (well known as Dell) is the local crime boss, entrepreneur and Lord of the Manor. He runs his business empire with brute force. Gained his rep on the back of a chainsaw he called 'Daisy'. He runs a legitimate chain of Bars, pool halls and a boxing gym in Bethnal Green, but these are only fronts for his real business, which are extortion, prostitution, protection and money laundering. He is a man driven by ambition and power. His heir to his empire is Jamie Tlison his only son, who tries hard to please his father. Dell is often seen in the company of his two trusted bodyguards, 'The Barry brothers', Paul and Sean Barry.

Kenzo Yoshida

Kenzo Yoshida

Tomokai's older brother the 'black sheep' of the family. Kenzo is the leader of a breakaway Yakuza clan. He runs a drugs racket in Tokyo and has always been envious of his sisters genius and closeness to thier father. He once got Tomokai into trouble by helping him to develop a lethal amephtamin which got them into trouble with the authorities which is in effect why his sister had to leave Japan and come over to England. He is very similar to Brodie as a person and he also follows a strong Samurai spiritual code.

Dr Rupert Jameson

Dr Rupert Jameson

When Dr Rupert Jameson, head of genetic research at P-FACT was approached with regards to finding new ways for top secret agents to infiltrate terrorist camps and enemy states, he saw this as being an ideal opportunity to finance his most recent discovery of R.C.G.M or Rapid Controlled Genetic Mutation.

As a result of his research/development a new kind of technology emerged where scientists can now genetically alter the physical appearance of a human being by altering their DNA balance. He called it Psycho Metamorphosis or PM13 (successful after the thirteenth attempt). Dr Jameson's work is born from the theory that the human body is like a pharmacy developed over billions of years, capable of many genetic experiences and abilities. These abilities however have been lost due to social conditioning. The power of belief to change biochemistry and that cellular molecular thought is the power behind the creation of physical matter is the corner stone of his research.

Dr Jameson's worst fear is that the still flawed formula of PM13 will be tried out in public before he had a chance to perfect it. Using the compound will cause an imbalance in the user once they revert back to their original form.

Tony T.

Tony T.

Anthony Thomas aka Tony T. 'The Psychopathic killer'... 'assasin to the stars'. The most feared heavy around town. A man who gets an enourmous amount of pleasure from torturing his victims. He is a bit of a 'Jack the Lad' character always seen in designer gear. He takes care of Eugene Della Cruz's dirty work behind the scenes. Only a few know who he really works for.

The Barry Brothers

The Barry Brothers

Dell Tilson's loyal bodyguards, Paul and Sean Barry. The original odd couple. Both are six foot five and built like brick shit houses. Paul is white and Sean is black, they are stepbrothers, same dad different mum. And are often teased about being called brothers, but now it's something they're accustomed to.
