Description
Space Elain and Hot Rod Cow are Kev F's space-adventuring comedy characters, with lots of aliens, space guns, rocket pants, and more aliens!
In this fun filled adventures they take you to all corners of the unknown universe, and are very silly in the process. Here's what Peter Duncan had to say about Space Elain's appearance in Wallop Annual No 1, on Down The Tubes:
"Kev Sutherland, who played a major role in persuading Brian and John to produce this lovely hardcover, has given them the real gem of the collection, "Space Elain" - basically, a "how to" guide to funny adventure comics for kids. It's spectacular looking, funny and filled with action - and could usefully find a place in any comic for kids."
His words, not mine. A "how to guide in funny adventure comics for kids"? Remember where you read it first!

"What an amazing and imaginative spin on a Shakespeare classic. Highly recommended!!!" - Chris R, Amazon
"A genuine page-turner with more twists and turns than a contortionist playing twister on the Hampton Court Palace Maze schematics after downing a dozen Red Bulls. Highly recommended!" - Laurence, Amazon
"Another brilliant book from Kev. He brings Shakespeare to life in a new, fun and interesting way - updated for the 21st century in his own unique way. I love his books!!" - Pixies & Me, Etsy
