The Tripods

The Tripods, masterfully drawn by the legendary John M. Burns in the Polystyle title Beeb, was a comics adaptation of the BBC's TV adaptation of John Christopher's Tripods trilogy of novels. The TV show is infamous for having been unceremoniously cancelled after just two of the three series' aired (on the orders of the same BBC executives who attempted to cancel Doctor Who around the same time) but the comic strip fared even less well, as Beeb folded after just twenty issues.
