"Steven Carlisle starred a successful mystery novelist, who solved real-life crimes disguised as a masked detective known as the 'Ace of Spades'. Chatto threw himself into the project, recording each issue's script with voice actors, using life models to pose for central characters and writing documentary-styled articles focusing on factual elements depicted in each issue's storyline. The comic's 'adult' themes and suggestive artwork ran afoul of internal censorship policies with the distributor, which feared the magazine would be banned in conservative state markets. The series was cancelled after the distributor requested alterations to the script and artwork for the final two issues" -- AustLit website.
