The Tomorrow people appeared in Look-in between 1973 and 1st April 1978.It was the longest running strip ever in the comic,although it was not a continual run.It is also the only strip to have character changes,to keep in line with the series.The strip started strangely,as a half colour,half B&W strip,until June 1974 when it went double page B&W,then alternated,usually going to double colour when a new member joined the series.

The Tomorrow people was a series about,what was seen as the next stage of human evolution,that is homo-superior,humans with special powers of telepathy and teleportation,amongst other things.The series charted the adventures of these teenagers,and their endeavors to protect the Earth from danger,whilst also guarding their secret,and helping other teenagers in becoming 'Tomorrow people',or 'breaking out' as it was called in the series.

The full list of Tomorrow people in the series were :

John - Nicholas Young

Stephen - Peter Vaughn-Clarke

Carol - Sammie Winmill

Kenny - Stephen Salmon

Elizabeth - Elizabeth Adare

Tyso - Dean Lawrence

Mike - Mike Holloway

Hsui tai - Misako Koba (Never apppeared in a strip)

Andrew - Nigel Rhodes (Never appeared in a strip)

This strip was great.The stories were in the main totally unbelievable,but this reflected the series,which was the same!.Burns artwork added a touch of spark,to what could have been a series that didn't translate well to comic books,he gave the stories a real sense of excitement that was sometimes lacking in the series.As brilliantly drawn as they were,they lost some of this spark when Noble took the pencil.Bill Titcombe's drawings didn't quite work for me in an action perspective,but he usually drew the comedy series anyway.The last ever strip was drawn by an unsigned artist,it was alright but didn't add anything to what was already a stale strip.
