Scotland Yardie Returns In An Original Graphic Novel From Knockabout Comics
Bobby Joseph is one of the main players in British independent comic books, and featured heavily in last year's exhibition at the British Library.
He used to publish a British satirical comic book called Skank, which ran from 1993 to 1997. Billing itself as a black Viz, which was shut down after a legal threat from British athlete Linford Christie. The comic featured once strip, Scotland Yardie, featuring a Jamaican-styled drug-using aggressive black policeman breaking the rules to enforce his own harsh sense of justice. Now Bobby Joseph has written – and Joseph Samuels has drawn – a full colour original graphic novel featuring the character. Scotland Yardie will be published next summer by Knockabout Comics. Dubbed a Black Lethal Weapon in South London, look out for it in July. Here's how it used to look…
UPDATE: This is how it was published in 2017.

by Bobby Joseph (Author), Joseph Samuels (Author)
With institutionalised racism at an all-time high, the Metropolitan Police embark on their yearly drive to recruit more ethnic people in the police force. With little or no success they bring over Jamaica's most feared policeman – Scotland Yardie, a ganja smoking, no-nonsense bad bwoy cop who breaks all the rules to enforce his own harsh sense of justice. But what happens when cultures clash? Can the average criminal handle the street -wise Jamaican Lethal Weapon rolling through downtown Brixton? Will south London ever be the same again? With his reluctant partner P.C. Ackee -Saltfish, Scotland Yardie embarks on an adventure that deals with the disappearing drug trade in Brixton, corruption, the death of innocent people at the hands of racist cops, assassinated cats, immigration fears and the emergence of the addictive blue chicken!
