Lytton was a four issue comic series by Cutaway Comics centered on the character of Gustave Lytton by writer Eric Saward and artist Barry Renshaw.


Publisher's summary

Intergalactic freelance soldier Lytton has swapped the battlefields of the Five Galaxies for a Soho jazz club.

Everything should be perfect - if it wasn't for the strange noises in the sewers, rumours that vicious aliens stalk the dark alleys and the terrible sense of murder in the air.
