Don’t Miss Out on these “Luther Arkwright” postcards!

The Cartoon Museum has released a set of smashing Luther Arkwright postcards by Bryan Talbot, tying in with the current exhibition, which runs until October, and the release of the phenomenal new adventure, The Legend of Luther Arkwright, launching this week (14th July).

The four postcards are available exclusively at London Film and Comic Con (details here), and will be on sale from the Cartoon Museum shop (physical and online) soon, along with fridge magnets with the same images.

In 1978, Bryan Talbot began the epic Luther Arkwright saga with The Adventures of Luther Arkwright. Serialised initially first in the comic Near Myths, and later in Pssst! Magazine, the serialised parts were completed by the rest of the story and published as first a comic book series and then a graphic novel.

The Adventures of Luther Arkwright is considered a groundbreaking work in the history of British comics and, with material dating back to 1972, one of the first British graphic novels.It was followed by a sequel, Heart of Empire in 1999, and a final volume – the utterly brilliant, mind blasting The Legend of Luther Arkwright – will be published this week.

Working closely with Luther’s creator, Bryan Talbot’s Luther Arkwright: 50 years of a British comics legend celebrates both the release of the The Legend of luther Arkwright alongside the history of the character and previous installments of the series. Immerse yourself in never-before-seen material, insights into Bryan’s process, different editions, models and ephemera, and original comic art from the series.

The Cartoon Museum will also be holding fantastic events alongside the exhibition, as well as stocking the book a great range of merchandise in their shop.

A new book in Bryan Talbot’s award-winning science fiction graphic novels series, starring the legendary character Luther Arkwright.

The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, first serialised in 1978, is considered by many to be the first British graphic novel. Praised by many writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jean Giroud (Moebius) and Michael Moorcock, the ground-breaking, experimental adult SF story was a seminal work, inspiring and influencing many comic creators. Its sequel, Heart Of Empire, was published in 2001. Both books have been continually in print since they were first published.

Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwrightis another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will.
