Charlotte has more adventures to come; a sequel to 'London Calling' entitled 'Squadron of the Screaming Damned' ; sequels to The Iron Moon; The Iron Sun and The Iron Stars.

And [above] 'Plunger's Last Case' set in 1988


A new Steampunk version of the character has since appeared, following the publication of the final version of the original story [ London Calling, Timebomb comics ]

This is the original b/w version before Stephen wrote the published version [The Iron Moon, Printmedia]
A Rok Comics version also appeared, as did Charlotte's rather peculiar father [ originally Jean Corday of the WW1 French Tank Corps
Stephen Walsh became involved as a scriptwriter , and Charlotte gained some fellow agents

Charlotte's appearance evolved and a new character inspired by Patrick Macnee appeared

Then the eerie Highgate cemetery came into the storyline
This is a page from the original story with RAF Meteor fighters encountering an alien menace on Hampstead Heath
Charlotte Corday originated as a French-language project some years ago. The premise was initially a woman investigator of the supernatural in 1950's London.
