UPDATED: Tank Girl - manga (1995/6)

I only recently became aware of this short-lived (only 8 issues) Tank Girl comic from 1995/6. This is a large comic (so British sized rather than US comic sized) with mainly Tank Girl reprints - what a surprise. I've acquired issue 1 so far and I'll be on the look out for the other issues.

Now updated with the (previously missing) cover to issue 5

Tank Girl, issue 1, July 1995

Tank Girl, issue 2, August 1995

Tank Girl, issue 3, September 1995

Tank Girl, issue 4, October 1995

UPDATED: Power Rangers - the official magazine (1996)

I've looked before (here) at Power Rangers comics from 1995 - there have been a lot of Power Rangers comics over the years so it's important to be able to tell them all apart. 

There was a Marvel UK comic [not yet covered on the blog] that ran from 1st March 1995 to 1st March 1996 (13 issues) and that title seems to have been followed by this title - "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - the official magazine". There is comics content but it's limited. These are slim magazines, only 28 pages in total (including covers) but they do all feature a 5 page comic strip at the start of each issue. I'm reliably informed that there were 8 issues in total.

The credits on page 2 of issue one list Helen Nally as art director, Glenn Dakin as editor, Gary Ninja Gilbert as designer and Mark Irvine / Andy Parslow as 'production'.
By issue 4 Jason Quinn is project leader

Here's what I've found so far...the covers for issues 2 & 3 are new for this update

UPDATED: Marvel UK's 'Rugrats' comics

I've looked at all sort of Marvel (UK) comics on the blog just click on this link to check 'em all out but today it's a new title for me - yes it's Rugrats the comic. I'm unclear how long this actually lasted. I know it lasted at least 24 issues (see cover scan below) and issues were listed in Comics International up to #31 [in CI issue 94] but Comics International #95 has an issue listed but no issue number. So, issue 32 seems like the likeliest highest number that Rugrats could have reached but I'd be delighted to know for sure.

UPDATE: the letterer Gordon Robson has been in touch to say that issue 29 was (he believes) the final issue. I have therefore adjusted the listing below.

Updates are highlighted in red

Personally I'm still looking for issues 22, 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29
