From the mind of manic genius Grant Morrison comes a story of romance, action, and super-powers — Bollywood-style! Stuck in his father's shop in Bradford, and due for an arranged marriage, Ali thinks he's got problems... but when he accidentally unleashes both an ancient evil and the heroes that bound it, Ali is thrust headlong into a madcap adventure with the future of the cosmos — and his wife-to-be — at stake!

Visionary writer Grant Morrison (
The Invisibles, We3, Seaguy) and fan-favourite artist Philip Bond (The Invisibles, Kill Your Boyfriend) bring this magical, madcap adventure to vivid, technicolour life — and afterlife!

When Ali's cousin falls down a hole in his dad's shop’s floor, it’s Ali to the reluctant rescue. Consumed with terror that Sofia, his arranged wife-to-be, will be an ugly shrew, the self-absorbed teenager hardly notices his baby cousin disappearing into an ancient cavern deep beneath Bradford. But when Ali follows him down, he discovers a civilisation lost to history, and inadvertently causes a terrifying force of evil to walk the Earth once more! Still... at least Sofia's gorgeous...!

But when the heroes that bound the ancient evil of the Black Vimanas appear, and their leader, Prince Ben Rama, believes that Sofia is a reincarnation of his ages-old lover, how can Ali compete? He'd have to save the world... or something like that!
