#Sapphire&Steel Strips #1-#76 review. It's only that the TV show is so advanced that these Strips are lesser. The artwork is great, the layouts too. So I'd say it's a must for fans to buy the hardcopy collection of these Look-In Magazine comic strips. Is there such a collection?

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #76 "The Pied Piper [4]" (18-Apr-81). As expected a rando Deus Ex Machina ending as Sapphire uses an unseen before metronome on the Piper to defeat him. Actually not terrible but this strip suffered by being just 4 parts. And it's 4 because it's the very last strip published!

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #75 "The Pied Piper [3]" (11-Apr-81). I like how global the threat is even though that's not really how S&S works. Just one ep to go. This is gonna be wrapped up by some hoary old nonsense I suspect.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #74 "The Pied Piper [2]" (04-Apr-81). This could do with fleshing out from 4 parts even if it's more of the same. Uh-oh we're not going to medieval times again are. Can't fault the art it's light years ahead of many other kids comics of the era.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #73 "The Pied Piper [1]" (28-Mar-81). At least this isn't set in the past. I like that in the first two panels we see the Pied Piper (sigh!) destroyed in some unnamed past encounter so the rest is modern day. Decent variant on the myth.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #72 "Fairyland [9]" (21-Mar-81). The magic realm sinks without trace. Much like this Look-In Magazine strip. Ok there is just one Strip adventure to go. May as well finish it tonight.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #71 "Fairyland [8]" (14-Mar-81). The final confrontation.. But even this ep has'nt the good grace to be the last instalment.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #70 "Fairyland [7]" (07-Mar-81). Just two more instalments after this. Nothing of interest this ep.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #69 "Fairyland [6]" (28-Feb-81). The quest continues. God this is dull.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #68 "Fairyland [5]" (21-Feb-81). Steel turns up somehow and the plot accelerates conveniently.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #67 "Fairyland [4]" (14-Feb-81). Sapphire escapes and meets an Elf. Thrilling eh.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #66 "Fairyland [3]" (07-Feb-81). Sapphire travels to the magical realm to find the kids. At this stage I'm only here for Sapphire's new outfits but she's still in the trackie from 1981.
