Andy B's Trigan Empire

Woodsy,

One of the influential comic stories when I was growing up at the close of the 60s was "The Trigan Empire" in Ranger comic, later continued in Look and Learn. The stories varied in quality, but I think the opening frames (by Don Lawrence) with the crashing space ship (enclosed) are one of the best openings I have seen.

NB: the early Trigan Empire strips were reprinted as a Look and Learn book, later reissued by Hamlyn. Some of the later stories were published by Hawk Books. I believe there is a more recent (but very pricey) reprint published in Holland.

All the best,

Andy B
