See the blockbuster movie now in theaters? Now read the book that started it all. Superstar writer Mark Millar and legendary artist Dave Gibbons bring you a story that reinvents the spy genre for the 21st century in KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE – the smash hit limited series available now digitally and wherever books are sold.

Recently reprinted with a brand new cover, now is your chance to catch up on one of the most inventive and talked about comics in recent years. Launched as part of Marvel’s creator-owned ICON imprint, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE continues the tradition of telling bold, can’t miss stories from the biggest names in the industry.

“It’s weird seeing Colin Firth and Michael Caine on the cover of your comic-book,” says writer Mark Millar. “The biggest thrill for me doing this was working with Dave Gibbons, who I’d written fan-mail to as a teenager. But seeing a book we’re so happy with collected and then seeing it having that crazy opening weekend in the States last week has been fantastic. Dave’s off on some kind of permanent vacation right now. I’m sitting here mulling over the sequel. Thanks to everyone for supporting our movie. Pick up the book if you want to see where it all started.”

Available now in a new, specially priced trade paperback collection, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE collects Secret Service #1 – #6 and can be found in comic shops and wherever books are sold.  Kingsman: The Secret Service is also available digitally.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
