The Adventures of Luther Arkwright

[laura_seabrook]

I finally finished reading this story on Xmas day, after starting it in the early 80s in  Near Myths magazine. I used to buy those in the Market St Bookshop in Fremantle - a Marxist establishment with all sorts of interesting stuff in it piled up to the ceilings. The bookshop is long gone (replaced by "Bob's Shoes") but its influence on me remains.

The story is very much a Jerry Cornelius type thing in a multi verse of parallels. I liked the execution and especially the artist, Bryan Talbot.

Mind you, 30 years (for me) is a long time to finish a  story. I have the sequel to this as well, but that won't take anywhere as long!
