Two issues away from...The Green Skies!

 The Druid (having helped rescue the Zero Heroes last issue) takes a walk to the local chippe with The Avenger. What can go wrong? Well, the ttle reads "In The Hands of Chung Ling Soo" so guess? 

The Z Man tries to waren everyone about The Trial but seems to just confuse people. Meanwhile, the German superheroes who survived Zeit Geist (even if their parallels did not) gather together. Something is going on,,,but what? 

Herne the Hunter continues on his quest while Ace Hart is setting about righting wrongs in his own way. Of course the Iron Warrior is putting in an appearance...as is Ghost Investigator Dene Vernon -but if he survives this one...welll... 

Jasmine deals with Kathatakathalaka in her own way...now but not now -long time ago. Zom would understand! He might also understand Zark in a text story last seen in 1951. Considering he may be a Martian if he's still around his future might be a bit bleak. 

Supernatural justice with The Bat and Madam Foretell is predicting everything but what happens when the skies go green! And there is more but you'll need to buy the book! 

Described as "A solid, cracking read from cover to cover" this is probably the best British anthology out there...all 80 pages of it!

It had to happen! Straight from the pages of Zero Heroes "the other guy" becomes....

CAPTAIN COSMIC!! 

No joke. 

Not an imaginary tale! 

Will Earth be happy with its new defender? 

You think it cares?? 

Also features Jack, The Iron Warrior, and enough action (with a touch of humour) to keep you happier than an adult entertainment channel (whatever they are) during lockdown!

Hot off the presses! 

Yes, the fourth issue of BTSH is here and it is so crammed full of eye boggling action that we had to use adamantium staples to keep it all together! 

Kotar, Sabuta along with Tarot and Lady Silvana face the werewolf while the Zero Heroes are in a church surrounded by zombies and what happens to "the other guy" at the end...I'm asking -what happened? 

Jack finds that he could have had a fatal dose, while The Trial continues and the mystery deepens. 

There is more -much much more! 

Blue Saviour is the cover star and a tribute to creator David A. Johnson who brightened up Bath comic marts with his Blue Saviour, Madame Mystery and Enigma comics!

The 10th and final issue of volume 2!

Our three lady adventurers are in the Amazon and have encountered the ape-men but are they ready for Rodney Dearth and his Iron Warrior to return?

The Cross Earths Caper concludes and for one hero it is the parting of the ways and two others face life altering situations and many months away…only to find on their Earth they were hardly gone a few seconds.  

Ben Dilworth concludes the re-telling of Runestone's origin.

There are lots of other goodies and this issue guest stars a gun-toting crime-buster that Elliott Ness would love -The Clock! Sit back and read Ben Dilworth’s crime-busting tale –it’s far better for you than the internet! Its just too much fun!

This is it!! 

Yes, the one that someone has been waiting for!  It may well have been you but you just never realised it.

Runestone gets to try out his new powers as he faces...The Beast of Exmoor! And believe us this ain’t no puma or leopard.  That might be weird enough but this Beast is a tool of the Celtic dark god himself!

Kelvin Jones gets to try out his shiny Helmet of Power and by this point some may ask if he’s capable of even using a TV remote control.

Our heroes are on a parallel Moon and fighting off Selenites in The Cross Earths Caper! And their new mysterious companion, “Bob” deisplays some super human abilities leading to the question: who the hell is “Bob”??

Kotar has his hands full in a solo adventure while Lady Silana faces a demon of her own. The quest for the Iron Warrior continues in the Amazon and this one has a few surprises for our lady adventurers.

There is a prequel to two British Golden Age comic strips in Return To Lost Man's Gulch and more...including The Thinker and The Phantom Detective -all in the UKs TOP SUPER HERO-ACTION COMIC!

At last! After cameo appearances in Tales of Terror and one strip over the last twenty years, Herbert Kirby’s THE PHANTOM DETECTIVE returns in two tales to horrify!

Plus, The Thinker...thinks DOOM!  He over stresses at times but we see that as him just being a kind of cosmic pressure release valve (he does tend to fart).  Meanwhile, having discovered the Iron Warrior in the African jungle, three adventurers are about to get a shock that ends in a loud “Bang!”

In the UK a wizened old man offers to give a rather over inebriated Kelvin Nolan his helmet -which creates a few misunderstandings in Kelvin Nolan and His Helmet of Power!  Runestone, with the help of his science pal, George,begins to test the rune stone that has embedded itself in his hand and is in for a few surprises.

In The Cross-Earths Caper (pt.2) Bristol is, quite virtually, The Wild, Wild West Country..and Selenites threaten to destroy Earth with a huge interplanetary cannon. Why?  Well, maybe a misunderstanding but have no fear –Earth’s finest from the 1920s have been unfrozen and are ready to fight. Thought that ought to be mentioned.

The First part of a new series! How do you follow up Return Of The Gods after many heroes have died while others have gone into seclusion or retirement and yet heroes are needed? "The Cross Earths Caper" is how! And when we say “Cross Earths” we mean the multi-verse, time and space and….buy it and see!

In the final part of the Xendragon story our hero confronts the Legacy of Frankenstein and things could get from very bad to fatally bad. 

And following his confrontation with the Ultimate Crystallid there are tragic if not fatal consequences for Thaddeus Twatt in the final part of The Jungle Planet.

Silvermaigne tracks down a vampyre.  The Thinker over thinks and Dilworth’s re-telling of the origin of Runestone continues apace.

Oh. And more.  Well, of course there is!

Yes!  It's 80 page Giant time! (Well, 81 pages) And because YOU demanded it: giant stone space heads! What do you mean you NEVER asked? Don't make this rough on yourself.

The final chapter in Return Of The Gods:Twilight Of The Super Heroes. Everything is finally revealed as the heroes on Neo Olympus mourn their dead and learn that one of their number must also die!  Meanwhile, on Earth, things seem to be turning more favourably….we think.

Thaddeus Twatt has brace himself for certain death as his past catches up with him and he faces the Ultimate Crystallid!

The Purple Hood versus The flame! And we don’t mean he has to sort out a chip-pan fire, either.

Whatever Happened To Mark Tyme? A good question because he appears to be lost in time and one German hero, Zeit Meister, survivor from a destroyed parallel Earth, is determined to find him.

Atomic Tommy has a slight alien problem to deal with and the Missing Link  is caught up in it all. 

Dr Sorrow has problems while Ben R. Dilworth takes us back to a re-telling of the origin of Runestone!

It's 80 pulse-pounding pages of graphic delineation! (plus an extra blank page because we’re keeping it real!).

It's the penultimate part of RETURN OF THE GODS:TWILIGHT OF THE SUPER HEROES and on Earth and in space heroes confront the invading Boarmen! Who will pay the ultimate price for defending the planet and how many will fall on Neo Olympus?

Kotar and Sabuta try to have a quiet night in but..well...you remember they are Third Level Sorcerers with enemies, right?

Xendragon (see Tales of Terror 1)investigates The Legacy of Frankenstein which might not be as straight forward as it sounds....it isn't.

Thaddeus Twatt and Tomas are held by the Crystallids and we hear of their origins and get a glimpse at how the eccentric scientist may not be all he seems.

Lord of the Flies teaches a very naughty boy a lesson. No school children were harmed in the making of this comic strip.

The Iron Warrior rushes to the rescue down the Amazon way while The Bat (but probably not the one you think) and Reverend Merriwether, God's Demon Thumper put in appearances.

Its 60 pages of Black Tower Action!

Krakos takes care of some burglars who have to “take the heat” in a very literal sense!  

The Purple Hood deals with a suicide banker so you have to ask how that will turn out?   

Kotar & Sabuta rescue a young woman in Antarctica, but what mysterious force took here there and how is it connected to Kotar? 

The action gathers pace in Return Of The Gods: Twilight of the Super Heroes as more mystery enfolds those taken from Earth…and those on Earth.

Thaddeus Twatt and nephew Tomas land on The Jungle Planet -and it looks as though this could be their deaths as Thaddeus realises too late what has colonised the planet!

The Thinker decides that thinking alone can get a little boring while one of China's Phoenix Team has to deal with..well, you'll see and it’s probably not what you expected!

What more could you ask for? More? You got it!

Things get grim as heroes begin to fall and the truth is realised in Return Of The Gods:Twilight Of The Super Heroes part 3. 

Lady Sivana and Tarot help Kotar & Sabuta tackle a nasty lycanthrope problem. 

With things looking VERY grim will Thaddeus Twatt and Tomas escape The Fearful Fate Of Friggia? 

Ben Dilworth provides not one -not two -THREE Purple Hood strips.

Is there more? Can there possibly be more?  

Don’t be silly -

YES!!!!!

Things begin to pick up apace as Thaddeus Twatt and Tomas go on foot to explore The Fearful Fate Of Friggia. Both, naturally,

oblivious to the mystery and action that continues in Return Of The Gods:Twilight Of The Super Heroes. In a more, uh, “fun” vein, we learn why using reptilean DNA to replace human limbs might not be a good idea in Out On A Limb!  Of course, when dealing with criminal gangs the Crimson Cowl packs a punchline.

And how could we forget Kotar & Sabuta as they confront...The Ghost! So, you may ask, if you are old enough, “Whatever happened to the 1980s craze for Yucca plants?” Well, we learn the deadly secret in The Day Of The Yucca!

There is also the obligatory “much, much more”!

In 1984 the A5 (digest sized) Black Tower Adventure first appeared featuring some later-to-be top UK
comic book and was a must-read in Small Press circles and sold so well that even the publisher does not
have a full run!

The title was put on hiatus in 2007 but in 2010 was relaunched, bigger and better than ever!

This first issue of volume 2 contains: Part 1 of the mega series Return Of The Gods:Twilight Of The Super Heroes
which comes in at 43 pages!Thaddeus Twatt In The Twatt-Verse -first part of a truly microscopic titanic tales (which
makes sense if you read it!). And those Third Level sorcerers Kotar & Sabuta race to face The Deadly Dilemma Of 
Sigismund Benfriggisund! The cold war between China and Russia couldn’t get any hotter in the 1980s but one strip
that appeared in the new talent comic Preview was The Phoenix Team and that story has been much requested over
the years as the team, and the Soviet Red Star Squadron, stumble into The Evil of the Salamander and his master plan.

And more?  Well, of course there is!
