Tornado (originally titled Heroes until a last-minute name change dictated by IPC management) was launched as a companion to 2000 AD and was designed to be a mixed-content adventure comic. It included strips that spanned genres and time periods like Blackhawk, Captain Klep, Victor Drago (the detective Sexton Blake in all but name, thanks to a copyright issue) and The Mind of Wolfie Smith. It was not to last however and Tornado merged into 2000 AD after just 22 issues.

The Angry Planet featured in all 22 issues, but unlike Wolfie Smith and Blackhawk it concluded in the pages of Tornado. A sequel titled Mars Force was planned, which was to be set 50 years after the end of The Angry Planet and Belardinelli drew several pages which featured a new set of characters designed by Brian Bolland. Sadly, it never materialised.

The Angry Planet touches on themes such as resource scarcity and corporate control that remain relevant today, but at heart it’s a rollercoaster sci-fi tale about rebellion. So, dive straight in and be blown away by Hebden’s usual hard-nosed characters and dynamic script and cover to cover with Belardinelli’s astonishing artwork as you join the first-generation Martians and their efforts to overthrow the dastardly Mars Inc.!

Collected from the pages of Tornado, this perfect bound 90-page collection retails at £10.49.

Hibernia is proud to announce that it has teamed up with the Treasury of British Comics to publish COSMIC COMICS!

COSMIC COMICS is a collection of legendary comic creator Kevin O’Neill’s formative work on  titles such as 2000 AD, Lion, Tornado, and Starlord.

It brings together a diverse selection of his work, from humour strips like Captain Klep and Dash Decent, to early Future Shocks and his amazing painted covers for the 2000 AD Sci Fi Special and Starlord – and much more!

This collection showcases the early development of his artwork as he progressed from art editor of 2000 AD to co-creator of Nemesis the Warlock, Metalzoic and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

The 66-page perfect bound collection is only available to buy here >>

“After years of telling everyone how fantastic British comics are it was great to see the Fleetway archive find a new home at The Treasury of British Comics,” said David McDonald from Hibernia. “They are doing incredible work bringing back classic characters, not only in reprint but with new material too, and we are delighted and very excited to have the chance to bring some of that archive back to print in association with the Treasury brand.

“The Treasury of British Comics allowed us to delve into their archives, and we have brought what Hibernia is known for – quality reproduction, excellent restoration and great comics! Richard Pearce, Hibernia’s designer, has really hit this one out of the park, bringing poorly-printed newsprint back to life in a superbly-designed package.”
