The best-selling Treasury of British Comics archival series The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire reaches its sixth, and penultimate, amazing volume

This penultimate omnibus collection of the original The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire stories, collecting all the strips originally published in Look & Learn from 1977 through to 1980. This book contains Oliver Frey and Mike Butterworth's final work on the series, as they pass the baton to Ken Roscoe and Gerry Wood who will work on the remainder of the series.

This volume collects for the first time thirteen classic, fast-paced, yet beautifully painted, stories featuring the Emperor Trigo, ruler of the Trigan Empire, holding the line against monsters, alien threats, and internal usurpers, with the help of his nephew Janno, and the scientist Peric.

Butterworth, Mike: - Mike Butterworth is primarily known in comic circles as the writer of The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, but had previously written Battler Briton and Buffalo Bill strips for Comet, for Sun he wrote Max Bravo, The Happy Hussar and Billy the Kid (which was drawn by, amongst others, Don Lawrence). The Trigan Empire began in 1965 in Ranger, and continued when Ranger was absorbed into Look and Learn where it continued to be published through to 1982. From 1967 he also wrote crime novels under his full name, John Michael Butterworth, and gothic romances under the pseudonyms of Carola Salisbury and Sarah Kemp.

Gerry Wood: - Before taking over the reins of Trigan Empire, Gerry Wood painted numerous covers for Battle Picture Library, Speed & Power, and his first painted comics strip was A Leap into the Future for World of Wonder. He would paint Trigan Empire until its initial run finished in the early 1980s, and afterwards he would provide illustration work for many educational books.

Ken Roscoe: - In addition to taking over the scripting of The Rise & Fall of the Trigan Empire after Mike Butterworth's departure, Ken Roscoe was also the editor of Speed & Power.

Oliver Frey: - Oliver Frey was born in Switzerland in 1948, and by the 60s he was studying at the London Film school, supporting himself by painting covers for War Picture Library. In the 1970s he replaced Don Lawrence as the main artist on The Rise and Fall of The Trigan Empire, and in the 1980s he worked on several Dan Dare stories for the revival of Eagle. Under the pen-name of Zack he drew many gay erotic comics including Desert Studs, Hot for Boys, and Raw Recruits. He also produced covers and serialised The Terminal Man for the computer games magazine CRASH, and created the art for the opening pre-title sequence of the 1978 Superman film.
