In 1982 the "Eagle" was re-launched in the UK, initially using the then trendy photo-story format and would continue for 505 weekly issues until 1994 by which point UK comics were in a terminal decline. Alan had a couple of his early stories accepted for publication. "The Collector" was a feature similar to 2000AD's "Future Shocks" which Alan also contributed to around the same time. The photos were taken in Forbidden Planet and yes I guessed how the story would conclude before I reached the last page. That mock-up of Tomb of Torture 27 would now be valuable!?!

Does anyone know about this book, was it a one shot?

It wound up being a 1-shot, although it wasn't intended as such.  It's essentially Youngblood #3.  Several cover variations exist, I believe all with Alex Ross Suprema art.  The version I've got:

Interesting!  I didn't realize that was Alex Ross either, very clean covers though. I read it and the story was open ended, but my go to source was not reporting a #2. Thanks for solving that mystery for me.

Moore scripts exist for Youngblood 4-7, and there are fan illustrated versions out there online.  I don't feel comfortable posting a link here, and haven't actually gotten around to reading them myself yet.  But PM me if you (or anybody) are curious.

Marvelman #25 (Reprint)

  • Reprints 1st appearance of Marvelman from Marvelman #25
  • Produced in very small numbers (around 5 of each Marvelman issue) by Bryon Whitworth
  • This was one of the comics created by Whitworth from Denis Gifford's copy

I’m not sure when these reprints were made. Possibly the nineties…? Anyone know for sure?
