As yet, no news of any pre-1970 collections but Rebellion only acquired the rights to those comics recently so it's early days yet. Presently they're producing some fine books that will delight many readers of the '70s and '80s. Something we never thought would happen a few years ago so let's appreciate what we have. These are great times for fans of classic UK comics!
Other books scheduled for 2019:

That Sweeny cover is triggering my NEED! instinct.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most! I hope it's a success.
ReplyDeleteDeath Wish, eh?
ReplyDeleteYes!!!
I loved that strip. Later on it its existence, I missed issues of EAGLE so never read a complete run. Just six months ago, I was reading some back issues of EAGLE I'd picked up (1986). However, they were random issues so didn't get chance to complete the stories.
This is good news for me!

With the placement of that particular gag at the bottom-left (as you look at it), he could just as well have been saying "Nobody puts this baby in the corner!"
ReplyDeleteI'll get my coat...
More must-buys! Anything by Baxendale will be treasured, and Death Wish was one of my adventure faves.
ReplyDeleteHope they correct the cover -- mask should be brown (leather) not white.
