But when she returns to the streets of Mega-City One there’s no respite for Anderson either – city-wide disasters face her at every turn, including everything from a hideous new disease manufactured by the Sisters of Death and Block-sized city-stomping robots.

Featuring work by Alan Grant, Arthur Ranson, Boo Cook, Dave Taylor and more, it’s a psi-chedelic collection starring more giant robots, evil houses and demonic entities than you can shake a Lawgiver at!
