It collects the four-part US limited series as well as the run of UK-created stories that followed. It also has some background information which was - to be at least - previously unknown. I wonder how well the British edition would have fared if they had launched with 'The Man of Iron' as the first strip published...<br /><br />There's also some nice examples of behind-the-scenes documents, unused art and the original end of the US limited series... which didn't look to be the same as the made-in-the-UK version that appeared in the second volume of THE COMPLETE WORKS a few years later.<br /><br />I've been skipping the modern era (IE post 2000) editions and just cherry-picking the ones from the original run. The new 'Marvel red book' is also perfectly times... it reprints the early ALPHA FLIGHT strips which means - in one trip to the till - you can recreate the best of mid-1980s Marvel UK when TF and Alpha Flight (in the pages of SECRET WARS) were alternating weeks in the newsagents.

Bah.<br /><br />Btw, the latest TF part-work has material on TF-uk from the 80's.<br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.com
