Egmont publish Thunderbirds in new format

In AUGUST 2014 Egmont plan on publishing reprints of some Frank Bellamy Thunderbird strips. Those who have the Thunderbirds the Comic Collection hardback might find these are duplications, but we'll have to wait and see.

• Thunderbirds Vol.1. ISBN 978-1405272605, 28 August 2014.
• Thunderbirds Vol.2. ISBN 978-1405272612, 28 August 2014.
• Thunderbirds Vol.3. ISBN 978-1405272629, 28 August 2014.
• Thunderbirds Vol.4. ISBN 978-1405272636, 28 August 2014.
• Thunderbirds Vol.5. ISBN 978-1405272643, 28 August 2014.

The above is borrowed and re-purposed from Bear Alley where Steve Holland keeps us up to date with forthcoming publications.

I've grabbed the covers from Amazon as Egmont don't appear to have any information on their site!

Each volume appears to have 48 pages and cost £6.99 each - so look as if they will be similar to the Ravette volumes of the 1990s.
