Now, here is story two, the 3rd and 4th parts were not printed due to issues 1 & 2 not being released.  These parts only exist as original artwork, of which one board is included here - it's frame 5, I've marked it '* ORIGINAL ARTWORK NEVER PRINTED'.  The story continues with a more lengthy recap but does not continue as left off in the last issue of 1974.

TPs...missing parts from 1975...and Story 2...

I had a post from Sean, which reminded me to tell you about issues 1 and 2 from 1975.  As previously thought, these issues do not in fact exist, they were not printed due to a strike, the artwork was however drawn in readiness for these issues, but instead of being printed, a recap was shown at the start of the 1975 - No.3 strip.  The compiler of the collection has got hold of a scan, of a piece of the unused artwork and this is included within the set, as far as I know that is the only original piece of artwork within the set.

Anyway here is story 2...




The Tomorrow People - Story 2

THOR'S HAMMER
Script; Angus P. Allan.
Art: John M. Burns.

The Tomorrow People...The Whole Story pt.1...

Anyone who is in Yahoo's 'Scanarama' club will have seen messages from me, concerning the fact that there are a couple of members who have been sent scans of the whole series of Tomorrow People strips.  I am one of the people and I have been given permission to show them here on the blog.  I could hardly contain my excitement, especially at the quality of the scans, they are just superb.  So here is the first one.  I have reduced them slightly from 5250 pixels across to 2500 across, and also grey-scaled the black and white pages, This was to save upload time, and also download time for you.  I'm sure you'll agree they still look amazing.

The titles are the providers own titles.  He has asked to remain anonymous, so I will oblige with that wish, and just say thanks so much for these.
