The Trigan Empire
Found this yesterday in a Clapham charity shop for £3.00 (Age Concern -often a bit pricey, but always worth a look). The great Don Lawrence did the art - when he wasn't drawing soft porn. Fucking Ace.
He was Chris Weston's mentor. Chris started out as his studio assistant. Says Don taught him everything he knew. I think he died quite recently; about 2 years ago, or so....
Look and Learn was crap though wasn't it. I used to just read the Trigan Empire and skip all the educational stuff. Apparently Moorcock used to write stuff for them though so I wished I'd paid more attention. Still, I doubt there were too many clues to the nature of the Multiverse sneaked into his articles on great cathedrals or whatever.
Look & Learn was crap - I only read Trigan too. I certainly didn't know Moorcock was in there. The saddest thing is I'm probably going to sell it on Ebay.
Moorcock and Don lawrence collaborated on a "Karl the Viking" story for the (UK comic) Lion 1965 Annual: "Ghost of the Tideless Sea" (great title!) They also co-created "Maroc the Mighty" for Lion.
And did you know that Moorcock also ghost-wrote a handful of episodes of "Zip Nolan: Highway Patrolman"?
