Derek's Back!

or is it his front? Who can tell?
Derek the Troll 2013 | Lew Stringer

Lew Stringer's classic comic creation Derek the Troll is set for a comeback in Jonathan Green's You Are the Hero - a history of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. Hurrah!

In typical egomaniac fan-boy fashion I  have decided to take full credit for this monumental return of an controversial British icon (well some people on the White Dwarf letters page didn't like him, so that counts as controversial in these parts). The reason for such arrogance being that I hassled both Jonathan and Lew about doing this, on Twitter, no less. Hmm. Very 2013.  What's that Derek? the Warlock said it was all his idea? What a total load of bo.... That's enough of that Zhu or I'll turn you into a toad - The Warlock. llocks....

  1. Good stuff, we just need Derek T-Shirts now, using his breath as a weapon before some monster or other falls on him. Well that and gobbledigook back.

    1. I think Lew is pretty busy with work at the moment, but who knows, maybe some Derek merchandise is on the cards.

      Been trying to track down the real Bil Sedgewick for ages....

    1. Ha Ha that's brill George!

      You should email Lew, or drop a comment on his blog, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of that.
