Does anyone remember Lion?
I found a couple of my old copies from the early seventies, and besides the Robot Archie and similar Dan Daresque stuff, there are two particularly well-written strips: Spellbinder about an alchemist who has remained in suspended animation into the modern era, and a story about 'Adam Eterno' who is an immortal time-traveller, who wanders the time-streams, getting involved in things like WW1 trench warfare. The stories are quite well-rendered, and I thought the latter in particular was a bit Moorcockian, 'Cornelian' in fact (or perhaps more Bastable)! The comic also tended to be curious in that there was a bit of multiversal-style 'leakage' between separate stories, and occassional intrusions of 'real' (eg, the publishing staff!) characters into fictional storylines. Curious. Comments?
