ESCAPOLOGY - WITHOUT A MOTHER BOX...

Copyright REBELLION

Time now for another astounding adventure with the amazing JANUS STARK, from the pulsating pages of the super second issue of the revamped SMASH! as published in 1969.  This time round drawn by the titanic TOM KERR, the art is no less atmospheric and effective than that of SOLANO LOPEZ, who had drawn the initial instalment - and most of the subsequent ones.  Tom drew just about everything in his 20-plus years comics career, including CHARLIE PEACE in BUSTER and the first episode of ADAM ETERNO in THUNDER, but is arguably best known (at least by me) for a series of pages for CLARK'S COMMANDOS, which advertised the famous footwear in many a comic weekly.  No doubt others will have different strips with which they associate him.

So - come!  The fogs of Victorian London shift and swirl, beckoning us to attend the dramas of an earlier, grittier, yet somehow more romantic age.  We must obey the imperial summons - for it will not be denied.
