Books Update: Avengers Old And New
*TV/Film Tie-Ins: Four original and four New Avengers books new in this week. With Steed accompanied by Emma Peel or Tara King, we have Dead Duck (written by Patrick Macnee) from Hodder, Heil Harris and The Laugh was On Lazarus (by John Garforth) from Panther and The Magnetic Man (by Norman Daniels) from US publisher Berkley. Steed is joined by Purdey & Gambit in four Futura books from the mid-seventies: Fighting Men (Justin Cartwright), House Of Cards and The Cybernauts (Peter Cave) and The Eagle’s Nest (John Carter). The Avengers are a landmark in UK (and worldwide) cult TV, and their novelised adventures are keenly sought after.
