Sounds interesting. Have you been researching a specific season/era or the series as a whole?

It's been series 1 as it's the 60th anniversary, but I've found material for all the series during my journey this last year or two.

I'd definitely be interested in reading the book if you write it. Have you unearthed anything on the New Avengers? It's always felt a bit vague regarding production dates, etc.

There is not much for The New Avengers that I've seen - just PR pieces and summaries for the newspapers. Perhaps Mike has something.
