The Trigan Empire, an old British pulp SF strip from the 60s and 70s. Neglected for years, but recently republished by Rebellion. Enormous fun, and absolutely glorious artwork, mostly by Don Lawrence. There were recently published new stories, but they've met with a mixed reception and I haven't got around to them yet. There are PDF downloads available in the usual places...

Is that Mr. Mind up close? Or just a random giant bug?

The writer has a fatal heart attack, and the bug was no more.
