The story tells the fantasy and sci-fi filled story of a boy called Richard, who is brought against his will to a strange land known as the Ancestral World. This original 26 part series was extended, and Richard’s adventures continued into a futuristic world known as the Cyber Dimension. The television marketing advertising spend on launch in the UK alone was in the order of £1.6 million upon initial publication in 1993/94.

The Ancestral Trail was split into two halves of 26 issues each. The first half takes place in the Ancestral World and describes Richard’s struggle to restore good to the world. After the initial international run, which sold over 30 million copies worldwide, Marshall Cavendish omitted the second of the trilogy and used the third part (Past and Present) being the second series that followed. This part of the series, originated and written by Ian Probert and published in 1994, takes place in the Cyber Dimension. It deals with Richard’s attempts to return home. Each issue centered on an adventure against a particular adversary, and each issue ended on a cliffhanger.
