"To celebrate the 25th anniversary since the creation of the PHOO ACTION universe, Phoo Action: Silver Jubilee follows the adventures of crime-fighting duo of Whitey Action and Terry Phoo battling side-by-side once again. Sixteen-year-old Kung-Fu orphan Whitey's hangover is rudely interrupted and Phoo Action are forced to combat their long-time notorious foes, 'The Freebies', and the rest of the ridiculous mutants on to the filthy streets of Soho and are once again wreaking havoc.

With over 90 pages of unseen preparatory art, as well as creature, set, and costume design and a complete written history, this compilation is a must-have for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate PHOO ACTION experience.
