1990: THE CHRONICLES OF GENGHIS GRIMTOAD (Marvel UK)

This only arrived in the post last week so I've not had a chance to read it yet but, as it's an oft-overlooked part of MARVEL UK's output, I thought it was worth posting.

THE CHRONICLES OF GENGHIS GRIMTOAD was a strip in - err - STRIP, M-UK's short-lived anthology that had a stab at the supposedly booming "mature readers' market in 1990.

Anything with Alan Grant, John Wagner and Ian Gibson's names on the credits is surely worth a look.  

STRIP itself stalled after a mere twenty issues (the twenty-first should have debuted NIGHT RAVEN: HOUSE OF CARDS... an indication of how quickly the plug was pulled) but this graphic novel was added to Marvel's swiftly-growing roster of books later in the year.
