The Seekers - c/o Lucky Comix

Back in 2013/14 Lucky Comix produced two print on demand reprint volumes of The Seekers newspaper strip. I'm unclear if further volumes were produced and, if not, why not. Maybe sales weren't strong enough? There's no copyright acknowledgment so maybe that was an issue. Anyway, these thing exist - good luck tracking them down.


The Seekers - murder in the boneyard [2013]
First story.
A young woman is invited by a new male friend to go to a private night club, the Boneyard. While there she witnesses him have an altercation with other patrons and when she tries to intervene, she is assaulted and ejected. Then she is the victim of a  hit and run. In the hospital, her story is finally believed by a doctor who calls The Seekers. They will learn of a large gang of criminals specializing in all sorts of crimes who use the night club as their base.

The Seekers - the man who died twice [2014]
17th story
The headmaster at a prestigious boys school has died and had a lovely funeral. Then a young student witnesses the man crawling from his unfilled grave. When another student later reports to the headmaster's matronly sister that she too saw the man after his burial, that sister contacts her old friend, Una, for help. Una puts Susanne Dove and Jacob Benedick on the case of locating a man seen the week before near a beach four months after he was buried!

  1. Years ago there used to be a website/blog called Thrilling Adventures that had the first two stories on it (there's still a link on Wikipedia but it appears to be inactive now). When these books first appeared it occurred to me that they'd pinched the scans from there (I stress this is just a guess on my part).

  2. I have both of these books and the website is wrong. The writer was Les Tilley, artist was John Burns.
