MC2

The Midlands Comic Collective produced at least 2 issues of their "MC2" anthology in the early 2000s.

The 'red' issue [so called so that I can differentiate it from the other issue to which it bears a very close resemblance] has a red background to the MC2 title. There's a list of contributors below - including Hunt Emerson, John McCrea, Laura Howell and plenty more...96 pages (excluding covers), slightly bigger than US comic format, b+w art throughout.

The blue issue features "new comic stories by the Midlands Comic Collective" but as I don't have this issue to hand I can't supply a list of stories / contributors. If you can help then do just let me know, thanks!
