This fourth omnibus of The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, a classic of the science-fiction genre, collects the stories published in Look and Learn from 1973 through to 1975.

Don Lawrence’s painted art continues to be a highlight of the series and, as Don Lawrence takes a sabbatical from the strip, Miguel Quesada and Philip Corke match his impressive work with their own style.

The Trigan emperor and his nephew, Janno, continue to protect their citizens from treacherous politicians, foil assassination attempts by mercenary assassins, halt the despotic plans of delusional scientists, and resist alien invaders.
