And that's before you got into the copyright situation which would involve not only the original publishers of the strip but also the estate of Francis Durbridge, the creator of the character. I wouldn't know where to start.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010426017572710283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-69294988372338508432011-04-22T09:22:47.877+01:002011-04-22T09:22:47.877+01:00I would certainly like to see a THE MAN WHO SEARCH...I would certainly like to see a THE MAN WHO SEARCHED FOR FEAR collection published by Bear Alley Books.<br /><br />My other choice would probably be a lot more tricky (and expensive?) with clearing the rights and what have you, but a PAUL TEMPLE collection would be great. If there ever has been a collection of these newspaper strips I reckon it must have been a very very long time ago.Reubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103574532500771213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-68063614069772998002011-04-21T09:56:58.127+01:002011-04-21T09:56:58.127+01:00Hi Mike,

I discussed projects with the rights owners to most of the strips you mention a couple of years ago and the whole thing fell apart. I'm not ruling anything out but I don't imagine the situation changing in the near future. Doomlord, on the other hand, has already appeared, published by Hibernia Books a few years ago and still Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010426017572710283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-68726299224743967502011-04-21T09:31:42.330+01:002011-04-21T09:31:42.330+01:00I don't know about a suicidal five copies but ...I don't know about a suicidal five copies but you'd be assured of at least 1 (one!) copy if you ever produced a Mytek the Mighty compilation or Steel Claw or Kelly's Eye or Legge's Eleven or even the more recent Doomlord which started as a photostrip like the girls' comics of the time (& the problem page 'stories' of some of the red top tabloids nowadays!)
