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!

  1. I have a question. Some of your previous books have been solicited through Diamond Comics' PREVIEWS catalog, and that's how I got them. Are Wulf the Britton and The Don Lawrence Westerns going to be available through the same venue? I certainly hope so. Thanks

  3. I had hoped Geoff would step in to answer this. I have no idea whether the books will be available via Previews. I'll check next time I speak to Geoff.

  4. Thanks, Mr. Holland, but the mistery has been happily solved:

    PREVIEWS DECEMBER 2010:
    PAGE 240
    BOOK PALACE
    DEC10 0802 DON LAWRENCE WESTERNS LTD HC WELLS FARGO & PONY EXPRESS 02/23/11 SRP: $50.99
    DEC10 0803 RON EMBLETON WULF BRITON COMPLETE ADV 02/23/11 SRP: $232.00

    Now I just have to find a way to justify to loved ones (and even myself) the expense of over 200 dollars in a book of old comics. Aah, who am I kidding? My problem is the opposite, there are not enough reprints of this kind. I want more, Book Palace guys.
