The best-selling books collecting the legendary science-fiction classic, The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, continues with a fifth volume collecting comics legend Don Lawrence’s final work on the iconic series.

The 1960s science fiction series from the pages of Ranger and Look & Learn, The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire is one of the great treasures of the British comics and one of the first full-colour 'widescreen' comics, thanks to Lawrence’s incredible painted artwork.

The series’ fascinating and thrilling combination of the Roman Empire and ancient Greece alongside fantasy and sci-fi storylines make it one of the landmarks of British comics, and provided childhood inspiration for pop culture luminaries such as writer Neil Gaiman and director Duncan Jones.

This fifth volume in the hit series reprints all the stories originally published in Look & Learn from 1975 through to 1977, and contains Lawrence's final, flawlessly-painted pages on the series he co-created with Mike Butterworth.

Trigo, his nephew Janno, and the trusted scientist Peric all band together to protect the citizens of the Trigan Empire, from threats both alien and clandestine in these fast-paced yet beautifully painted comic stories which enthralled readers on original publication.
