Finally got around to reading the latest instalment in Bryan Talbot's epochal 'Luther Arkwright' series. I thought it was brilliant, although some of that may be nostalgia speaking, if I'm honest!

‘Heart of Empire’ is the sequel to Bryan Talbot’s masterpiece, ‘The Adventures of Luther Arkwright’. It’s a much slicker comic, less profound maybe, but a brilliant and subversive slice of high-octane entertainment.

Reading a 2000AD comics anthology, and ending up skipping 2 stories - the reduced page size in this reproduction is doing them no favours, especially re splotchifying the lettering frequently. But hey, a fab Judge Anderson story is next. Which feels almost Luther Arkwright like. Happy reader again! #comics #comicBooks #2000AD #JudgeAnderson #JudgeDredd #Books #Bookstodon #reading #lettering #LutherArkwright

I re-read this amazing comic (Bryan Talbot’s ‘The Adventures of Luther Arkwright’) just to remind myself of the plot. It’s still jaw-dropping and astonishingly beautiful 35 years after I first read it!

Grid of 6 book covers in 2 rows of 3. In the top row are the Dickens book with a black and white design, the Patrick Troughton book showing him as the Second Doctor playing the recorder, and two young Tolkien brothers side by side on their book cover. On the bottom row are a brightly coloured comic book cover for Luther Arkwright, a scarily hot orange looking cover to Not Cool Europe By Train in a Heatwave, and the Fall of Numenor book has a simple blue and white drawn design against a black background.

For any fellow #LutherArkwright fans heads up #BigFinish have made #audio versions of the first two #graphicNovels. Both starring #DavidTennant. The first one, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, came out in 2005 and I thought it was superb. Sold out now on CD but still available for £4.99 download. An audio version of the sequel Heart of Empire is coming out later this year.

Firing up my next graphic novel read. A reread, this time reading it and the sequel on my iPad. The Adventures of #LutherArkwright by #BryanTalbot. This copy includes an introduction by #MichaelMoorcock. #Comics #GraphicNovels #BritishComics #AlternativeHistory #DigitalComics #ComicBooks

An internal opening page for The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, a frontispiece I suppose you would call it. It is a black and white drawing, showing the title character stepping forward from a dramatic backdrop in a circle. Around the enclosing circle are heraldic decorative type designs, and various female classical Britannia figures.

When I hear the word "Disruptor" I reach for my Armstrong-Siddley "Royal Albert" vibro-beamer. #LutherArkwright #TheAdventuresOf LutherArkwright #BryanTalbot.

Cover of a Spansih edition of 'The Adventures of Luther Arkwright (Las aventuras de Luther Arkwright)'. Luther is at the front and centre of the picture, looling towards the reader. He is holding a vibro-beamer in his right hand, pointed up and towards the left of the reader.
In the background on the top left is a shillouette of Big Ben with the clock at ten minutes to two, fronted by a row of red flags with a yellow hanner-and-sickle and the Union Flag in their top left. On the top tight is an airship. On the bottom left and middle, drawn smaller than Luther, are a row of secondary characters observing something through binoculars. On the bottom right are some Disruptor soldiers.

@krady It's been a while and last time I read #LutherArkwright I wasn't convinced it made any sense despite being pretty atmospheric. I liked the sequel more (in which the Cromwellian regime has been defeated and replaced by an English monarchy ruled by a superpowered queen who has taken over the world).
