Not so long ago (2011), in a galaxy not so far away (Edinburgh), Production Brawbot Rob Miller helped out on the self-funded Electric Man movie. The team behind the film passed on a selection of rare issues from the comic's lengthy run across the decades, asking Rob if he'd apply some digital-pokery, archiving and restoring these comics to near as possible their original glory....

Now that the film's available on DVD everyone can enjoy this "wonderfully twisty-turny comic caper, made and played with warmth, wit and genuine affection" (c/o Frank Quitely) at home, the eagle-eyed amongst you perhaps wanting to look out for (artistic) cameos by Curt Sibling, Graham Manley, Alex Ronald, Team Girl Comic, our very own John Miller and more.... Only a tiny handful of the restored covers were glimpsed in the film (much like the restorer himself, but that's understandable as he's camera shy and the bulk of them were worked on during and after production), so treat this as something of an exclusive premiere, several of these scarce issues thought lost forever....
