Brilliant Depravities... A review of the Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Harry Payne: "Above all, this is a work which demands of its readers that they think for themselves, and for that alone, if nothing else, Bryan and those who have supported him in this labour of love have earned my grateful thanks."

Talbot said: “I’m very excited that Three River Studios is working on a TV adaptation of the Luther Arkwright stories. With the digital technology at their disposal and a genuine love of the original, I’m very much looking forward to the series.”We’ve almost waiting long enough for the sequel to be in real time. Eighteen years is quite a long time ago. A lot’s happened in between. Another life.” The Adventures of Luther Arkwright Book 2: Transfiguration ( Valkyrie Press, Dec. 1987) ISBN 978-1870923002 — introduction by Alan Moore [10] What can I say about Bryan Talbot‘s new graphic novel, The Legend of Luther Arkwright that might usefully add to the much deserved praise it has already had on release?

Tripwire’s editor-in-chief Joel Meadows takes a look at Bryan Talbot’s The Legend Of Luther Arkwright, out now from Jonathan Cape… The original graphic novel, Heart of Empire , is included in the 2014 release, Arkwright Integral – currently available from Gosh! for much less than as advertised elsewhere! And now, in 2022, we are to get the third Luther volume from Bryan Talbot, The Legend of Luther Arkwright, 46 years after his original story first saw publication. To be published by Jonathan Cape in the UK and Dark Horse Books in the US, Bryan Talbot has completed the script and has started drawing it. David Tennanthas done many roles for Big Finish over the years, and has gone on to do so much since he last played Luther. It’s wonderful to see him return to that role as Luther comes face-to-face with the daughter who he left behind…”Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwright is another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will. EDITOR'S NOTE: This Jonathan Cape edition of The Legend of Luther Arkwright is available in the UK and through import sources. A North American-specific edition from Dark Horse is presently scheduled for March of 2023.
