Code Name: Hunter

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
Code Name: Hunter - Cover of Issue 9
"Diplomacy is hard. Mixing diplomacy with magic is harder."
—The Tagline

In a parallel world with Furries but no humans, an age old barrier in London designed to prevent magic entering the world had been broken by German bombing in WWII and a secret British Government Agency develops around it to police the magic and maintain the Masquerade. Focuses on two agents, Hunter and Gypsy. Also in dead-tree format.

The Royal Center for Special Investigations has the difficult task of protecting Britain from loose magic. There's only one problem: England doesn't have any powerful, trained mages.

As of 2021, Code Name: Hunter is in reruns; you can read it here. Rated PG-13 for mild violence, language, adult themes and trigger happy redheads.

    • In the no-longer cannom flashback arcs, she has sent 2 of her superiors to the hospital. One of them has been permanently relegated to desk work due to injuries she caused.
