Books Update: New Avengers #2-6
*TV/Film Tie-Ins: The revamped New Avengers TV series proved just as popular as the original. Helped by the suave presence of Patrick Macnee as John Steed, Gareth Hunt (as Mike Gambit) and Joanna Lumley’s hairstyle as Purdey formed a swash-buckling trio, foiling Britain’s enemies at every turn. We have added five of the six paperback novelisations: The Eagle’s Nest, To Catch A Rat, Fighting Men, The Cybernauts and Hostage. In grades ranging from GD to FN, these are all first publications. The TV covers variously offer the chance to see Mike Gambit looking uncomfortable in a gi, Purdey breaking her toes in a poorly executed kick and Steed looking distinctly queasy as the passenger in a biplane piloted by Gambit.
