Steed & Mrs Peel - Ian Gibson & Grant Morrison

Everyone's go a lockdown project right? One of mine has been to complete those runs of comics where I'd picked up the odd issue here and there without ever actually completing the run and being able to, y'know, actually read the comics.

Anyway this week, to celebrate completing my run of 'Steed and Mrs Peel' comic, I'll be treating myself to a whole lot of Ian Gibson artwork as I settle down and finally read 'Steed and Mrs Peel'. 

Note that 'The golden game' is written by Grant Morrison and 'The deadly game' by Anne Caulfield.

Here's a covers gallery...
