Jamie Smart's modern and funny Space Raoul strip appears in its own comic this October. The red lumpy space adventurer has previously appeared in The Funday Times (the Sunday Times comics section) and The Dandy. As Jamie owns the rights to his character the strip now ascends to his own 64 page colour and black and white book with Space Raoul launched as a graphic novel in the USA by SLG Publishing. The same company has published Jamie's Bear comics.

Priced at $8.95 the book will also be available in the UK on import from specialist comic book stores (not newsagents), - so place your order now at a store such as Forbidden Planet, Nostaligia & Comics, Gosh!, Page 45, etc. Remember, comic shops have to order their stock a few months in advance, and they give preference to superhero comics, so if you don't order Space Raoul now there's no guarantee the shop will have it in stock in October.

thanks lew!

bear and space raoul are both firm favourites in our house so it's good to know that Raoul can now launch himself on to the bookshelf next to Bear (and Looshkin!)

I never thought I'd see a time when the same character would appear in comics published by DC Thomson and Slave Labor...!

An interesting connection here.Argosy Smith of Astounding Space Tales also appeared in a Slave Labor anthology way back when!And he had a trusty green sidekick too!Hmmm.. Still,you just cannot have enough wacky space comics out there.Hope it does well.Thanks for the heads up Lew.
