An all-new modern day comics story set in the high stakes world of espionage created by John le Carré! New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt joins Eisner Award–nominated artist Ibrahim Moustafa and Eisner Award–winning artist David Lapham in this thrilling tale of espionage from the world of John le Carré—author of The Night Manager, Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy, and The Constant Gardner.London, 2025. Every day, the intelligence agents of the Circus are enmeshed in high-stakes, high-wire acts that the average citizen would never notice. They protect Britain’s most sensitive secrets—and in modern Britain, secrets are everything. At the head of it all is Control: the all-powerful puppet master who decides who goes where, who does what, and sometimes, of necessity, who lives and who dies. But now, Control has vanished.He doesn’t show up at the office. He misses his meetings. He won’t—or can’t—answer his phone. He is, simply, nowhere. Control’s assistant Maggie is the only one who knows he’s gone, and with an imminent and critical mission in Vienna, the clock is ticking. Maggie knows every protocol, every password, and every operative—but whether something has happened to Control or whether this is part of his plan, she has no idea. Either way, she can’t trust anyone with the knowledge of his absence. Can she even trust him? Secrets within the Circus have a way of coming unraveled, and Maggie will have to act fast…or risk the walls tumbling down around her. Collects issues #1–#3 of John le Carré's: The Circus--Losing Control.
