This is my favourite annual ever. Not only is there the juxtaposition of the wild west and outer space (Firefly anyone) but the contents are fantastic. Well illustrated, well written stories, interesting features add up to a very good annual.

But what takes it into a different league is the The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire story. Great adventure with a driving narrative brought to life with absolutely gorgeous artwork by Don Lawrence, which I think is as good as anything Frank Hampson did with Dan Dare.
