However, it didn’t take long for the, ahem, free-spirited Barreti to start pulling the work in a slightly eccentric direction. As former Baskerville art editor Brian McDuggan recalls: “As [Barreti’s] ‘reinterpretation’ of Schaeffer’s scripts began to filter through to the office, alarm bells began to ring.” And if the innuendo-laden homosexuality of the leads wasn’t enough to get Baskerville executives hot under the collar, it soon became apparent that Barreti was beyond any kind of influence or control. The artist made plain his dissatisfaction with the conventional nature of the material, drawing himself into the story to pass ascerbic comment on what he was being asked to illustrate.The story starts at the fag-end of that decade, when the Baskervile Newspaper Group decided it needed to respond to the success of Peter O’Donnell and Jim Holdaway’s strip Modesty Blaise. To do this, it teamed up volatile Italian artist Antonio Barreti with English writer Louis Schaeffer – a multi-pseudonymous veteran of pulp and sci-fi magazines. When Cho is declared “Mastermind Excello” by an intelligence contest, his life suddenly spins out of control – and now he’ll need all his smarts just to stay alive! On Sale in all good UK comic shops from Wednesday 6th April 2016 British Publishers 2000AD/ Rebellion Goldtiger (subtitled Goldtiger: The Poseidon Complex) is a British graphic novel, first published by Rebellion Developments in 2016, and promoted in conjunction with the company's 2000 AD comic. The book tells the history of short-lived and controversial spy-themed newspaper comic strip "Goldtiger" by acclaimed Italian artist Antonio Barreti and science fiction novelist Louis Schaeffer, interspersed with the strips themselves. It was the first comic to bear the 2000 AD branding without having appeared in the comic previously.

Analysis of golden tiger family trees shows that golden tigers are genetically normal orange coloured tigers with the addition of a recessive modifying gene, probably the wide band gene. This same wide band gene also gives rise to stripeless white tigers. A white tiger that inherits two copies of the recessive wide band gene will be a stripeless white. A normal orange tiger that inherits two copies of the recessive wide band gene will be a golden tabby. The wide band gene is carried independently of the white gene.

JB: I have always loved newspaper strips, when I was younger, that is what I wanted to be: a newspaper strip artist, not a comic book artist. But despite being of a '60s vintage myself, I was born too late. By the time I could hold a crayon without getting it all over my bib, the heyday of the great adventure strip had gone. Some classics lingered, and even continue to this day, but in reality they were from a bygone era. A lost art. Lost art! That really is what Goldtiger is about, rediscovering something that didn't even exist, but should have, so now does, or does it? (Now that is truly lost.)Some years later 2000 AD artist Jimmy Broxton was approached by a man only known as Marcelo at a Maltese comic convention who gave him a huge parcel of Barreti's original artwork. He alerted collaborator Guy Adams and the pair began extensive research into "Goldtiger". While finding much of the documentation missing and many of those involved in the strip passed away, the pair were able to discover some material during research for the book. These included a Wave Radio interview with Schaeffer (during which he consistently attempts to steer conversation away from "Goldtiger" in favour of his literary works), the manuscript for Schaeffer's unfinished autobiography Words for Money, a biographical article on Barreti from Peter Floyd's 1982 book Three Panels Away - The History of the British Newspaper Strip, correspondence between various parties; and a rare interview with Barreti from British underground magazine Deadbeats. Most of the materials reveal the difficulties of dealing with the idiosyncratic artist, while also suggesting the death of Barreti's sister Adriana in 1966 was a major factor in his deteriorating mental health.

Tiger Eye is a variety of Quartz and a pseudomorph (meaning false form) replacement of Crocidolite. It forms when Crocidolite has its chemical fibers replaced by silica. Its colors are generally a combination of golden browns, yellow, beige or tan. This mineral was first reported in 1892 by J.D. Dana and was clearly named after its similarities to a real tiger’s eye. The most abundant source of Tiger Eye is located beneath South Africa where most of the material on the market is sourced from. However, there are secondary deposits coming from India, Burma, Australia, China, and Brazil.

I could make a load of speculative guesses about the influences upon Goldtiger, but it'd be much better coming from you guys unprompted ... Melissa gets drawn deeper into a strange hidden world and realizes that her affair with Orlando isn’t just about sex. She discovers more about the Discipline, their wierd enemy known as the Stalkers, and her own freightening potential.It seems sometimes that in an often collaborative medium such as comics, a lot of the most interesting things occur on a spectrum ranging from happenstance to coincidence. And so it was with the rediscovery of the obscure newspaper adventure strip Goldtiger, rescued and presented here in “the secret history of the 60s’ greatest unseen comic”. Having only discovered how far the uncommunicative Barreti had strayed from his scripts when reading the strip in print, Schaeffer attempted to regain control by sketching several strips himself. In protest, Barreti simply submitted Schaeffer's crude drawings as the finished art. Exasperated, Schaeffer instead wrote a novelisation of "The Poseidon Complex" for publisher Club Books before quitting; an excerpt from the book is used to bridge one of the gaps in the narrative caused by Barreti's disregard for storytelling. A film based on the comic commenced production under an Italian exploitation studio, starring Edwige Fenech and Terence Stamp, but was abandoned during filming for unclear reasons.
