The quality of reproduction of these 60s strips is fantastic - all credit to Rebellion publishing. The artwork is so clear and gave me a new appreciation for the top Spanish art - Jesús Blasco. The writing - although by Ken Bulmer apparently is nowhere near as good as his s-f novels. But this was written c. 60 years ago and for younger kids than this old man!

Steel Claw was a long-running British series about Louis Crandall who acquired the ability to turn invisible when he channels electricity through his artificial steel hand. In the initial strip the lab accident that creates him turns him evil, but this TPB ends with him shifting into reluctant crime-fighter mode.
Great art, enjoyable serialized stories.

another nostalgia hit!

This is a great edition but it's still an outdated comic, although it has its great moments.
