OUT NOW – Summer Magic: The Journal of Luke Kirby

A series which trumped Harry Potter to the ‘young boy wizard’ trope by a number of years – but hasn’t been reprinted in its entirety before – is collected for the first time this week.

Created by writer Alan McKenzie and artist John Ridgway, The Journal of Luke Kirby was a long-running series in 2000 AD.

Published from 1988 until 1995, this story of a young British boy who becomes a powerful wizard – and which pre-dates both JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and Neil Gaiman’s Tim Hunter – has now available in a new paperback edition and a special hardcover edition with signed print.
