Violent! #1

Thanks to friend of the blog Matthew Bunce I've recently acquired issues 1-6 of Violent! a small press comic from, erm, I'm not precisely sure when as I've not come across any dates on 'em yet. The best I've got is that the Aggro strip has a (c) 1999 on it. So that's the earliest this could date from.

Anyhoo, they were sent to me as they contained some interesting example of artwork by some folks who are now well-known artists.

The total list of credits is as follows...
