Fleetway Picture Library Classics #8

Fleetway Picture Library Classics brings back John Steel, Special Agent: World War II in this handsome 2020 Book Palace collection, showcasing the work of writer James Stagg alongside the art of Ron Turner — whose portrait badge on the cover rightly gets star billing. The central cover image, rendered by Nino Caroselli and Ron Turner, puts steel-helmeted Allied soldiers front and center, tommy gun in hand, with fighter aircraft roaring low overhead through a sky thick with action. It's a stirring package for the story "Gateway to Glory," and a welcome chance to revisit these classic British war comics in a beautifully presented format.
