(W) Gerry Finlay Day (A/CA) VARIOUS
From the very beginning of his career working on girl's comics for DC Thomson, it was clear that Gerry Finley-Day was a writer who oozed creative genius. Both editing and writing for IPC's Tammy, he transformed the title with riveting tales including the fondly remembered Slaves of War Orphan Farm. But it was on the boy's titles where he made the biggest impact, starting on Battle with strips such as The Sarge, and Hellman of Hammer Force for Action. The work that he produced for seminal UK sci-fi comic 2000 AD really highlight how Finley-Day lives and breathes ideas. This collection showcases some of his best-known strips, including instalments from Rogue Trooper, The VC's, Dan Dare, and the complete Harry Twenty on the High Rock.
