Lytton (series)

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.
