Paul Grist's self-described "Britain's Greatest Hero" series continues in this 2005 Image outing, spotlighting the hulking, red-eyed robot Tom Tom front and center against a stark black background. A yellow arrow directs your attention to a circular inset showing Detective Inspector Maveryk — bound, gagged, and clearly in trouble — with the urgent cover promise of a search that must be completed "before it's too late!" It's a wonderfully retro-flavored cover design that captures Grist's knack for blending British adventure-serial energy with sharp, expressive cartooning.
