Fleetway prints from 1988

A recent discovery (for me anyway) were this set of limited edition prints that Fleetway publications produced in 1988. These were in limited editions of 500 and were signed by the relevant artist. Check out this ebay seller for the chance to buy 'em.

There were 9 prints produced in total, again thanks to ebay seller deedee234

Weird city - Glenn Fabry cover

Here's a Glenn Fabry rarity. I can't find any other examples of issue of Weird City so I've no idea how many more issues were published.

UPDATED: 'Battleground' fanzine

A new one for me is this covers gallery for Battleground ('The comics discussion fanzine') from back in the day. I'd love to know how many issues this lasted. I remember seeing adverts for this in the back of Comics International but I never ordered a copy, more fool me by the looks of it - this looks great!

Updated: now with cover for issue 6 - covers gallery completed!

Ewan Brownlow says 6 issues only
