King’s Reach: John Sanders’ Twenty-Five Years at the Top of Comics
From within King's
Reach Tower on the banks of the Thames, John Sanders masterminded the output of
Britain's biggest comics publisher over twenty-five years.
Overseeing the
launch of hugely popular titles like Tammy, Battle and the revolutionary 2000
AD, Sanders fought corporate battles to expand the UKs' comics output, faced
down the government and the media in censorship battles and ultimately came up
against a crooked business tycoon.
Leading an industry
that at its peak sold 10 million comics per week, Sanders launched over a
hundred new titles, faced massive social change and strove to keep comics
relevant to generation after generation. In this memoir he reveals, for the
first time, his story and that of the medium that would go on to dominate
global culture.
