While V For Vendetta was good, it was by no means the best strip; but it has simply become the best-known after all these years! BTW, "not the best strip" doesn't mean that I don't rate it highly...it's just that the standards set by the other strips are so high that even such a famous series can struggle to stick out from the crowd. Moore's Marvelman was brilliant, with art originally by Gary Leach then, later, Alan Davis. It's unfortunate that this revived 1950s UK superhero didn't really get as wide an audience as he deserved, although I believe the series was reprinted in colour as Miracleman and loose ends tied up (I've never read those issues myself). We also had a fantasy tale, The Spiral Path, written and drawn by Steve Parkhouse; a couple of supernatural historicals from Steve Moore and John Bolton, and Axel Pressbutton- a cyborg character from a cartoon strip in Sounds music paper - given new life and a new partner, drawn by Steve Dillon. All high quality entertainment, and I'd really recommend them to anyone who hasn't seen it before.
