British Update: Classic Collections from the 1960s to the 2000s – Garth (with Romeo Brown), Jeff Hawke, Judge Anderson and Turbo Jones
*Collected Editions: Five collections of classic series, commencing with the 1961 ‘landscape’ double-feature of Garth in ‘The Last Goddess’, featuring the endlessly-reincarnated hero’s first encounter with his beloved Astra, and on the flip side, there’s two stories of ardent but maladroit Romeo Brown, delightfully illustrated by Jim Holdaway in a comic style very different from his Modesty Blaise work. Judge Anderson of Mega-City’s Psi-Division graces our shelves in two volumes of her Titan Books collections; Sydney Jordan’s interplanetary adventurer Jeff Hawke (think Flash Gordon, but in more sensible clothes) is featured in a 2008 hardcover, ‘Overlord’, with a new Brian Bolland cover and brand-new this week, Rebellion’s Turbo Jones, from the pages of Wildcat, a far-future Noah who predicted Earth’s destruction and assembled a space ark to find a new home for humanity. Anderson, Psi-Division Books 1 & 5 are both VF at £5 each; Garth/Romeo Brown (pictured) is VG/FN at £30; Jeff Hawke, Overlord is FN/VF £15 and Turbo Jones is a brand-new paperback compilation at £15.
