£8.24

Two issues away from...The Green Skies!

The Druid (having helped rescue the Zero Heroes last issue) takes a walk to the local chippe with The Avenger. What can go wrong? Well, the ttle reads "In The Hands of Chung Ling Soo" so guess?

The Z Man tries to waren everyone about The Trial but seems to just confuse people. Meanwhile, the German superheroes who survived Zeit Geist (even if their parallels did not) gather together. Something is going on,,,but what?

Herne the Hunter continues on his quest while Ace Hart is setting about righting wrongs in his own way. Of course the Iron Warrior is putting in an appearance...as is Ghost Investigator Dene Vernon -but if he survives this one...welll...

Jasmine deals with Kathatakathalaka in her own way...now but not now -long time ago. Zom would understand! He might also understand Zark in a text story last seen in 1951. Considering he may be a Martian if he's still around his future might be a bit bleak.

Supernatural justice with The Bat and Madam Foretell is predicting everything but what happens when the skies go green! And there is more but you'll need to buy the book!

Described as "A solid, cracking read from cover to cover" this is probably the best British anthology out there...all 80 pages of it!

Following the events on Neo Olympus and the Boarman invasion of Earth, many heroes and crime-fighters have withdrawn from activity. Some are trying to recover from injuries while others are fighting the mental scars left by the events.

But things have to go on. As heroes from other parallels who helped during the recent events return home, members of the Special Globe Guard are shocked at the sudden appearance of Zom of the Zodiac. Never a sign of good things a-coming!

Very soon, a group of heroes mount a rescue mission and find that a quick rescue mission can turn sour equally quickly. As they overcome one challenge the the heroes become lost between parallel Earths and face new threats.

Sometimes one Earth just is not enough. The complete story published in issues 7-10 of Black Tower Adventure now in...one handy dandy book!

Created by William A. Ward for Swan Comics in the 1940s,Krakos was one of Ward’s supernatural anti-hero types.

Used,with Swan’s permission,in Black Tower Adventure strips in the 1980s/1990s,this is the character’s first solo outing.

But will Krakos fulfill the Goddess Isis’ dream and become the new pharoah of a New Egyptian Kingdom that will encompass all of the Middle East? Did anyone actually ask Krakos?

The book contains information on Ward and his work plus sample pages rescued after 60 years of neglect!

The complete Merriwether series, originally published in Black Tower Adventure and A Little Midnight Horror–but with three strips never before published…

including the Reverend’s battle with the ultimate Evil!

From The Horror Of Hob Street to The Village Of Demons and Varney the Vampyre to The Fallen Angel himself, see how one Church of England vicar deals hard-fisted [and various spiked objects] justice to the ungodly ...and pays the ultimate price!!!

If you were into Charlton Horror Comics or any horror comic then this one is for you!

At the end of Merriwether:Gods Demon-Thumper, the Reverend had been confronted by Satan and as a consequence lay fatally injured. Star of 1980s comics, Benjamin R. Dilworth, takes us through the fleeting seconds before death as Merriwether has flash backs showing just why he took on the career he did. Be prepared for horror and a little tongue-in-cheek humour.
