*****
Read along with the series this time for welcome reinforcement of its stirring statements and exclusive additions that were a better fit for print. The readings naturally backed by comprehensive fan-compiled soundtracks to complete the multimedia voyage.

***
A worthwhile literary expansion of one of those middling episodes destined to be only vaguely remembered, padded out with a bonus prologue.
1992-93 (collected 2003) / Ebook / 96 pages / USA

It didn't leave me hungry for more chili-dog-flavoured eco-fairytale Looney Tunes action, but the classic British comic would fare even worse if I only had the formative stuff to go on.
1999 / Paperback / 128 pages / UK
****
A celebration of the classic era of a classic series that it turns out I knew next to nothing about, from its eclectic influences to alternative Creeks we were spared, with a particularly dark bonus mystery to solve at home. The only thing it gets wrong is never being updated.
2015 / Ebook / 240 pages / USA

Not quite complete, but maybe all the adventures worth recounting, this opinionated companion strikes a delicate balance of source snobbery and Tumblr fangirling, but mainly felt like I was reading Den of Geek or something.
