You fool, Sam! You should've stopped the Evil Leapers at 1986's Marvel offices whispering ideas for a Joe crossover!

It's like when it turned out JFK had to die. Same can't fix everything!

The twist this time is that the Transformation page actualy promotes a comic that came out after many previous tissues of lies! The first run of Knights o Pendragon is fab. Pendragon II...less so.

Is it sad that I recognised the title quote straight away?

Nice that the TF take on Quantum Leap also featured an 'evil Leaper' - and two years ahead of the TV show too!

I love the Seacons too, Simon! They're probably my favourite Special Team who never got to do anything of note in either the cartoon (as they didn't appear) or the comic (in the US they appear just to get bumped off but they do a little bit more in the UK).

I didn't spot this one either, but I don't think I was aware of Quantum Leap at the time. (A glance at the Radio Times archive shows it was initially up against the Nine O'Clock News so even if I were still up on Tuesday evenings then I wouldn't have been able to see it.) Quite a good little story and I wonder if this was the last of Hasbro UK asking for help to clear out old 1988 stock in toy shops, *if* the Seacons were still hanging around. (The Collected Comics reprint the previous autumn would support this theory)

Great “Quantum Leap” pastiche. ☺ I liked that show too. That later, jazzier theme song in the YouTube clip above was fun.

Flashback is one of my favourite Earthforce tales but if you think about it too hard it falls over.
