Art:Bob Walker Story:Mike Butterworth Everything else:Trevor Hughes.
Many thanks to Mr.Trevor Hughes for what is probably my strangest read in a good while. As we were sent these comics with very little back up information it's hard to a clear picture of where they are coming from, but as far as I can gather it's an unpublished independent sequel to the "Time of the Hawklords" trilogy. (1976-Star Books) It has been expanded and serialised by some diehard fans and produced as a mini-comic. The story is very fragmented and surreal as we follow the escapades of stoner metal-merchants Hawkwind through intergalactic war, preparations for the ultimate gig and outlandish "Hawkwind space rituals".

also avaiable free at TUC /mega mart.
With a story reminiscent of Spinal Tap meets Flash Gordon (but in a good way..)and very 70's underground black and white artwork this is a well presented independent made by some truly dedicated fans. I spent most of my time confused or bemused trying to follow the mind-bending plot, but maybe as the boys themselves say....
