British Update: Collected Editions of Legendary UK Strips – Trigan Empire, Night Raven, Captain Britain!
*Collected Editions: In our new and very popular Collected Editions section, we’re proud to make three significant additions. From 1989, Hawk Book’s Tales From The Trigan Empire compilation, a large-format hardcover collecting the legendary strip by Mike Butterworth and Don Lawrence which ran in Ranger and Look & Learn for decades. With the high production standards Hawk was renowned for, Lawrence’s sumptuous art is shown to great advantage. From 2011, the first volume of Captain Britain in hardcover, subtitled Birth of a Legend, representing the entirety of Cap B’s first series, with the first appearances not only of the good Captain himself but many of his friends and foes, including his sister Betsy, who would later become the X-Men’s psychic psiren Psylocke, and Lance Hunter, who later gained prominence in TV’s Agents of SHELD show. Finally, from this very year of 2017, Night Raven: From the Marvel UK Vaults is a paperback compilation lovingly (some would say obsessively) gathering every single obscure appearance of the nourish pulp anti-hero from dozens of different sources in Marvel UK’s catalogue. Featuring work by Alan Moore, Steve Parkhouse, David Lloyd, Alan Davis and John Bolton, among others, this is a showcase of many of comic’s greatest talents in the early days of their careers. Tales From The Trigan Empire is VF at £50; Captain Britain is VF at £75; and Night Raven is Mint at £32.
