A pound you say? They were a mere 75p in London. You were conned.
I saw the MARVEL FACT FILE but I stopped buying months ago to conserve cash.
There was also the new issue of Titan's STAR WARS MAGAZINE with a brief two-page spread on the original SW strip that TV TIMES published to coincide with the ITV movie premiere way back when.
There's a new STAR TREK PARTWORK being tested in selected areas: it reprints Trek strips from the last fifty years (or thereabouts) along similar lines as the current Marvel/ DC/ Dredd hardbacks. I managed to get hold of acopy of the first one and it looks good. I hope it generates enough interest for a full launch. Its worth noting that neither the BUFFY nor GERRY ANDERSON strip collections survived the pilot stage.
I should have said a euro each ,at least here in Dublin.
thanks for the heads up on those items. That would have been back in 1982. I remember the tv times cover but not the strip.
and that would be the STAR TREK GRAPHIC NOVEL COLLECTION you referred to ? It looks promising. Trek is certainly in good health with a new movie and tv series on the way.
some nice stuff out today including the latest MARVEL FILE with a captain Britain cover and a much needed binder.
ReplyDeleteand marvel are being very generous indeed with a slew of star wars first issue reprints including DROIDS and all for a pound each.
