Wulf the Briton

The final details of the Book Palace Books reprint of Ron Embleton's Wulf the Briton have been finalised and we're pleased to announce a special offer on the book: anyone pre-ordering the hardcover or leatherbound slipcase edition can, for a limited time only, get a substantial discount.

Here are the details...

At last, all of Ron Embleton's Wulf the Briton stories from Express Weekly and the Annuals in large format, gloriously reproduced in colour to the highest standard.

Wulf the Briton was without doubt Ron Embleton's comic masterpiece after he took over the strip - which was a single page cover feature on Express Weekly - in 1957.

The workload that Embleton undertook with Wulf was formidable. In comparison to Frank Hampson, who had a studio and assistants to help meet the weekly Dan Dare deadlines, Embleton just had himself to draw, letter and paint the feature. However Embleton was unfazed by such considerations and within a few months he was also writing the strip and steering it in a much more historically credible direction, as well as adding an extra page to the strip!
