WE’RE CELEBRATING CLASSIC BRITISH COMICS THIS MONTH AS THE THIRD CHAPTER IN THE VIGILANT SAGA COMES TO THE MEGAZINE!

If you’ve read the previous two instalments, released as separate issues in 2018 and 2019, then you’ll know that the Brit superhero team of Doctor Sin, the Leopard From Lime Street, Blake Edmonds and more have assembled to take on the nefarious plans of the evil Von Hoffman.

Now, in the 22- page Rapture, Simons Furman and Coleby reunite for the grand finale – but will The Vigilant be victorious?

If you’re new to the characters, the mini-trade bagged with this issue contains some of the first episodes of their adventures when they were originally published in Jet, Speed, Buster and the like, while Stephen Jewell takes a deep dive into the history of Lion, one of the most popular anthology titles from the sixties and seventies, home to Robot Archie, The Spider, Dr. Mesmer’s Revenge and much more.

Elsewhere, there’s a complete Judge Dredd thriller from Rory McConville and Staz Johnson, the penultimate part of Blunt, and the latest instalment of Lawless.
