One of the highlights of the new Treasury of British Comics Annual, available now, surely has to be the new “Robot Archie” strip by Paul Grist, Simon Williams and Jason Cardy.
Robot Archie has travelled space and time – but has he finally met his match?
As we’ve previously reported, Rebellion are celebrating the holiday season with another thrill-packed Treasury of British Comics Annual, mixing up the old and the new, available in print as a Treasury of British Comics webshop exclusive and standard edition, and as a digital release.
The publisher has delved into the IPC/Fleetway archive to bring you a selection of some of the greatest strips ever to appear in British comics, specials and annuals, from such esteemed titles as, Scream!, Battle, Tiger, Valiant and Lion.
This collection, on sale now, also features three brand new stories: Simon Furman and Mike Collins on “Kelly’s Eye Vs The White Eyes”, Alec Worley and Anna Morozova on “Black Beth”, and Paul Grist and Simon Williams on “Robot Archie”.
With the addition of a collection of “The Sludge” strips from Lion to Rebellion’s advance release list next year, this is surely another reason to grab a copy of this new Annual!
