Crisis magazine - spin-off titles to collect - part 3

A few more strips from Crisis that were given the trade paperback treatment...

Garth Ennis & John McCrea's Troubled Souls originally appeared in Crisis issues 15-20, 22-27 - so that's 12 issues in total

For a few troubles more appeared in Crisis issues 40-43, 45-46 - so 6 issues in total

True Faith appeared in Crisis issues 29-34 and 36-38 so that's 9 issues in total. Here's the UK reprint...

And here's the US reprint from Vertigo...

As Steve MacManus recounts in The Mighty One... 
"...To promote True Faith, Igor [Goldkin, publicist] sent the graphic novel to several religious groups as well as his normal group of press contacts. The NME reviewed the book as 'a brill kitchen-sink religious terrorism thriller', but others were not so taken by its tale of a disillusioned plumber who is radicalised by a group of church arsonists and embarks on a campaign of fiery retribution following the sudden death of his wife. Complaints were made and there were rumours that these had been brought to the attention of Robert Maxwell. true or not, the fact was that True Faith's 5,000 copies were suddenly recalled, withdrawn from sale after only two months"

The lead story in Crisis was Third World War (by Pat Mills and Carlos Ezquerra). Carlos was the main artist but others who worked on the strip included D'Isreali, Sean Phillips, Duncan Fegredo, Angie Kincaid, Steve Pugh, John Hicklenton and Richard Piers Rayner.

The strip was collated in this 6-part reprint series... 

Crisis magazine - spin-off titles to collect - part 1

I'm working my way through collecting Crisis magazine from back in the '90s and have realised that there were a number of dedicated spin-off comics from the magazine, so without further ado let's see what's out there to collect. Part 1 today, part 2 coming soon... 

These are all traditional US comic sized, none to hand so don't know page length or which issues (from Crisis) are reprinted in each issue. To be updated when I can find these. 

The collected story all in one big volume (c.240 pages)
