Blake's 7 Summer Special

A short-lived but fondly remembered Marvel UK annual, the Blake's 7 Summer Special offered two oversized issues (1981 and 1982) of original comic-strip adventures set in the universe of the classic BBC television series. The specials brought together British comics talent from the period, most notably writer Alan McKenzie and artist Mike McMahon, to expand the exploits of the Liberator crew beyond the TV screen. While brief, these issues are a key artifact of the show's 1980s transmedia presence, capturing the gritty, character-driven tone of the series in a distinct comic format.
