3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting curio, not the greatest

Turbo Jones is one of the interlinked stories from the short lived Wildcat comic of the late 80's.

This passed me by at the time so I had no idea what to expect. I can't say I was blown away. Pretty standard SF stuff really. The earth is coming to an end, a visionary leads a colony ship away to find a new home.

It's drawn quite nicely , story and characters pretty generic and , I feel, misses something by spending all of it's time around the first planet they rock up at. Feels like a proper Trek style exploration would have been more fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2019
A strange choice for a reprint. This is probably aimed more at younger readers and doesn't stand up as well as other reprints by this company. There is nothing of any real substance in the story. The art is OK. The initial chapter is by Ian Kennedy and the rest is by Vanyo. The book is very well presented but sadly there is nothing here to get interested in.
