The Trigan Empire

The Trigan Empire was a science fiction comic series that told the story of an alien culture which contained an educational blend of science and Earth-like ancient civilisations.  This stylish comic series was featured in the childrens magazine "Look and Learn.

Look and Learn contained a wide spectrum of features ranging from articles on history, science, geography and geology, art, nature, literature (The Arabian Nights was edited by Sir Richard Burton) and travel.  Look and Learn finally folded in 1982 after 1049 issues.

Asterix first appeared in Look and Learn under the title "In the Days of Good Queen Cleo", with the Gauls turned into Ancient Britons, with Asterix and Obelix renamed "Beric" and "Doric".
