It is the 16th century. From all over Europe great ships sale west to conquer the New World, the Americas. These men eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries. To find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes... Some of you will have read that and started to weep tears of joy (admittedly, some of you will be completely nonplussed), for those are the opening words of the greatest cartoon ever made. That is the opening gambit for The Mysterious Cities of Gold. For years, fans (myself included) have been pestering various organisations to get a reissue of the long running series to no avail... until now!

Children of The Sun, get ready for some exclusive packaging, an exclusive poster and exclusive postcards in a limited edition... and limited run... set that is gonna blow your mind! The Mysterious Cities of Gold is being reissued and boy, I can't wait! MCoG follows the adventures of a Spanish orphan named Esteban in 1532 who joins a party of Spaniards in their search for one of The Seven Cities of Gold in the New World, hoping to find his father. He is joined on his quest by Zia, an Incan girl, and Tao, the last descendant of the sunken empire of Mu. It's a thrilling mix of sci-fi, adventure, South American history, archaeology and swash buckling fights! And I've not even mentioned the Golden solar powered condor...
