The A-Team is an American action-adventure television series that ran on NBC from 1983 to 1987 about former members of a fictitious United States Army Special Forces unit.
The four members of the team (John 'Hannibal' Smith, B A Baracus, Face, Murdoch) were tried by court martial for a crime they did not commit.
The Look-In adaptation ran from October 1984 to March 1987. This episode was published in week 17 Look-In 1986. This is the first page of a new storyline.
Maureen & Gordon Gray For such prolific illustrators and comic strip artists, almost nothing is known about Maureen and Gordon Gray. Some library sources give their years of birth as 1932 (Gordon) and 1940 (Maureen), but that information should be treated with care.
Usually signing their work 'Gray', they were regular contributors to comics in the 1980s, producing Kid's Army, a Second World War strip loosely based on the TV sitcom Dad's Army, Fame, based on the TV show, and The Fantastic Adventures of Adam Ant, about pop-star Adam travelling through time to pop up at various points in history. These strips all appeared in DC Thomson's TV Tops comic in around 1982.
The Grays then began appearing in Look-In, contributing Bucks Fizz (1983-84), The Story So Far featuring Shaking Stevens (1985), A-Ha (1986) and Michael Jackson (1986), Airwolf (1986), The A-Team (1986-87) and Five Star Life (1987).
A later graphic novel is credited to Maureen Gray only: The Haunting of Julia (2007) is based on Mary Hooper's children's novel Thirteen Candles, described thus: "When Julia watches Dad's video of herself preparing to blow out the candles, she notices something weird and mysterious, a dark hazy shape, leaning over her shoulder. She's sure it blew out the candles, but what is it?"
