Striker’s New Motion Comics Go Live

By John Freeman on August 31, 2016

Striker is not only back in The Sun – the strip is now also appearing online via the Planet Striker YouTube channel, with three new episodes featuring Nick Jarvis release from prison – and straight into new trouble – now live.

The Planet Striker team have also posted a ten minute long “catch up” episode, above, which brings readers up to speed on the vents that led up to Nick’s latest situation.

Striker – one of Britain’s longest running newspaper strips, mainly published in The Sun – returned to the paper earlier this month, thanks to its fans and some hard-won negotiations behind the scenes by creator Pete Nash.

Collections of the strip – which has been published for 30 years – are now in the works, as we previously reported.

Here are the first three new episode: subscribe to Planet Striker on YouTube to keep reading!
