Oak Tree Books and Chinbeard Books are pleased to announce that ‘The Tomorrow People — The Complete Look-In Comics: Volume Two’ is slated for publication in February 2024 and is available to pre-order today. The collection is released in association with Rebellion and the Treasury of British Comics.
The Tomorrow People – the next stage of human evolution – first ‘jaunted’ onto British television screens in 1973. The brainchild of writer/creator Roger Price, this innovative group of young people with paranormal abilities proved hugely popular, and eight extraordinary series were broadcast on ITV.
In collaboration with series creator and writer Roger Price, the team of Robert Hammond and Barnaby Eaton-Jones (the creative forces behind the award-winning ‘Robin of Sherwood — The Complete Look-In Comics’) alongside writer and expert Andy Davidson, have joined forces yet again for the second volume of beautifully restored Tomorrow People strips from the pages of Look-In magazine.
Look-In, the weekly magazine and TV guide for youngsters, ran interviews and articles on the best commercial shows, but is perhaps best remembered for its beautifully illustrated comic strips. It was in this form that the Homo Superior began new adventures alongside the television series, providing five years of incredible, illustrated exploits.
This announcement follows the successful release of ‘The Tomorrow People — The Complete Look-In Comics: Volume One’ earlier this year.
“I always think of the comic strip version of The Tomorrow People as demonstrating what it could have been if it had a decent budget, and with today’s technology.” says series creator, Roger Price.
This is Volume Two of a two-volume collection featuring every Look-In strip of The Tomorrow People, showcases the creative flair of John M. Burns, Mike Noble, Bill Titcombe, Leslie Branton, and Angus P. Allan.
It includes pages lovingly restored from the original art boards, concluding articles, features, and posters, as well as a foreword by actor (and Tomorrow Person) Nicholas Young.
For those that missed out on ‘Volume One’, there are a limited number of copies left available here.
‘The Tomorrow People — The Complete Look-In Comics: Volume Two’ is available to pre-order now in limited edition hardback from AUK Direct - https://auk.direct/product/tomorrow-people-volume-2/
