Ah I am filled with Nostalgia for when you could pick up fanines for 50p a shot - the late 90s and early 00s were my Glory days of hunting these things out and that copy of Hellfire was a Grail find I never did get, along with Masters of Infinity with the Bolland cover (I think!)

There was an eBay seller who came along and started buying them up and reselling them for a 5er a pop and it killed my interest, sadly.  Should have persisted!

I got into fanzine collecting in the early 2000s and got some great things, but, yeah, not so much now

Want to read Alan Moore's 2nd ever interview? Want to see just why David Roach's artwork was so good he was snapped up by 2000ad after he'd drawn only 4 comic strips? Then this is the fanzine (published in 1984) is for you - deep pockets required!
