Nick Raven - lost in the Amazon

A while ago (here) I looked at a book that, according to most of the comments that were left, most people seemed to reckon was about the best book people ever found in the school library. Copies of the series seem really hard to track down so I was delighted to spot this copy on ebay and swipe the photos from it.

So without further ado here's more examples of Gerry Embleton's art from the "...with Nick Raven and the S.A.T.A.N. Squad" series, this time we're Lost in the Amazon... 

Impressively the story is written by the leader of the Wallace Expedition to Amazonia (1978) - kudos.

Nick Raven and the S.A.T.A.N. Squad

A curious, and rather battered, volume from my collection...Yes, it's Nick Raven and the S.A.T.A.N. Squad. 

Illustrated by Gerry Embleton and with a script by well-known comics writer Scott Goodall MBE (Scott was appointed an MBE in 2005; he died in 2016).

My copy was formerly owned by a school (and it shows!) and...

...the format is that you get half a page of comic strip per page and half a page of factual information. The comic strip runs across the top half of each double-page spread... 

...so you get 15 pages of comics action in total and technical drawings by Dick Eastland, Mike James, Eric Jewell, Barry Salter and (new Eagle cutaway artist) Peter Sarson.

There appear to have been 4 books in the series in total (see below) but I'm struggling to find images for them - can you help?

Marney the Fox - limited edition volume announced

Marney the Fox is currently available to pre-order on Amazon (here)

A GRIPPING STORY OF A YOUNG FOX’S STRUGGLE IN A HOSTILE WORLD!
When his mother is killed and his siblings taken by a farmer, Marney the fox cub finds himself left all alone in the beautiful yet deadly Devon countryside. From dodging blood-thirsty humans to encountering an array of wild animals, Marney must rely on all of his strength and cunning to survive.
This is a brilliantly constructed and complete story (collected here for the first time), showcasing the astonishing work of artist John Stokes and the glorious imagination of writer Scott Goodall.

or as the Amazon blurb has it....

Marney the Fox is a Lassie-style tale of a lone fox up against wicked humans via Watership Down and Fantastic Mr Fox.

But even more interesting/exciting is that there will also be 50 copies printed of a hardplate bookplate edition, including a numbered bookplate and art print, each signed by John Stokes.

You can buy that here
