Goldtiger: The Poseidon Complex – The Secret History of the 60s’ Greatest Unseen Comic

A wonderfully inventive graphic novel presented as the rediscovered history of a controversial 1960s newspaper comic strip that never quite made it into print. Goldtiger: The Poseidon Complex follows secret agents Lily Gold and Jack Tiger in a stylish adventure inspired by the classic newspaper strips of the era.

Created by Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton, the book cleverly blends comic-strip storytelling with fictional letters, scripts, interviews, sketches and behind-the-scenes material to build the elaborate story of supposed creators Antonio Barreti and Louis Schaeffer.

Published by Rebellion in 2016, this unusual volume is a fascinating mix of graphic novel, comic-book parody and 1960s pop-culture pastiche, making it an excellent addition to a collection of British comics, 2000 AD material or graphic novels.
