All publications are detailed in the section [Ref].

Since the original publication in "Look And Learn" and "Ranger" there have been numerous reprints. Best served are Holland and Germany with various formats covering most of the material. A decent run in France, a meagre run in Spain and just 3 volumes in 30 years for the UK. Original "Look And Learn" sets of comics are rare.

The reprints have been varied from inclusion in German comic, Kobra, to the resplendent UK 160 page 350x260cm Hawk book. The majority of the runs have been in 48 page hard/soft cover A4 runs with 1650 pages to cover its a run of about 35. The quality has varied but moist have had a relettering, the none UK books are not lettered as for the UK, i.e. there is no overwriting the already present speech bubbles.

The beautiful Hawk book may clock in at 160 pages but it still has a few pages delibertley missing - and they are easy to spot in 2 ways. The first is that the story jumps. The second is that the last pane of each weekly strip generally ended in a cliff hanger and missing a page changes the sense in which these happen (left then right then left again).

Some strange effects have been observed look at the difference in the colouring in this comparison of UK and French publication.

Also the strips sometimes never filled 2 pages.

In the reprints advantages are sometimes taken of this. Again compare the 2 pager French version and the 3 page UK version.
