Hi Skipper and thanks again for the listing. My apologies again as a “newbie” if this has been answered elsewhere but was there a specific reason why the first 5 McLane tales (ie “Earthspace” ) were not converted to Hawke ? I had assumed it was because the stories focused quite heavily on McLane’s medical skills and as such would be confusing for readers who weren’t aware of where the material originally came from but somewhere at the back of my mind – and this is waaaay back in the mid 1980’s I think – I recall seeing an issue of “Amazing Heroes” or a similar US publication which previewed a forthcoming comic called “Earthspace” but which was clearly the McLane strip under a new name. I think – and again it’s a long time ago so can’t be too reliable on this point – but I thought it was being published by Quality Communications who were also publishing Warrior at the time. Does this ring any bells with you? I wondered if the five stories were under a different copyright/license agreement or somesuch? Thanks again! Bill Storie.
