A collection of material from a comic was almost unprecedented, and this presents the first and the third Trigan Empire stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Trigan Empire\u003c\/i\u003e began its two pages per week serialization in \u003ci\u003eRanger\u003c\/i\u003e, which, in the British comics tradition, was ‘merged’ with the more educational \u003ci\u003eLook \u0026amp; Learn\u003c\/i\u003e in 1966. Although a hodge podge of historical influence, SF and adventure, it broadly fitted the educational remit of its new home, a distinct benefit being that home also boasted the top end photogravure printing process, so Don Lawrence’s art was reproduced as well as possible. While Mike Buterworth’s plots entertain and the pages turn, it’s the art providing the true wonder. Lawrence painted in colored ink, creating lush tones and imaginative new worlds, yet populated by people drawn from the Roman Empire. He ensures every character is distinct, even among the more alien looking beings, designs sleek, futuristic aircraft, and some great other-wordly creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\nCharacters are: \u003cem\u003eBrag: Klud: Trigo; King Zorth; Zargot; Peric; Salvia and Zolt.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nInscribed by Paul Power\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Fine plus.\u003c\/strong\u003eRubbing on the back cover edge and corner.
