Adventure & Comic Strip: Exploring Tara King's the Avengers Rodney Marshall

From the author of Subversive Champagne, this is an exploration of the Tara King era which brought The Avengers to a close. Explores all 33 episodes, offering a critical analysis of each. If you thought that the Tara King era was the tired endgame of a once glorious show it might be time to reassess it. This was a quite remarkable, surreal season in which the series experimented with film noir, hard-boiled fiction, Victoriana horror and much much more. There is a unique mix of adventure and cartoon strip as the most iconic of television shows came to an end with a bang, not a whimper.
