Jeff Hawke: The Ambassadors

Thought of as one of the most influential and intelligent comic strips ever published, Jeff Hawke is a high point in adult-oriented science fiction storytelling!

Jeff Hawke is once more forced to be an ambassador for humankind, as strange aliens make contact with humanity in The Ambassadors; a mysterious alien toys with time and becomes the Pastmaster; and an excavation unearths mysterious artefacts of incredible power in The Immortal Toys — plus two more strange sci-fi tales!

The sharp but subtle intellect of Willie Patterson’s scripts make Jeff Hawke’s plots and characters truly compelling, and Sydney Jordan’s groundbreaking linework and unique character designs fully capture the peculiarities of the aliens in Jeff’s universe!Willie Patterson was a childhood friend of Sydney Jordan who began as a dialogue writer for Jeff Hawke but later took over plots and storylines, leading to what many consider the “golden age” of the strip.

Sydney Jordan is an ex-RAF pilot and a graduate of the Aeronautical Technical School, who long sought to exploit his skills in drawing aeroplanes in a sci-fi comic. In 1955 he met Eric Souster and Jim Gilbert, and together they created Jeff Hawke.
