Dick Tracy - Fleetway publications, 1990

It's a welcome to the blog to Dick Tracy who's making his first appearance here today. I've picked out the 1990 movie tie-in books that Fleetway publications produced in 1990. 

The first 2 books ('Big city blues' and 'vs the underworld') you seem to see quite often but I'd never seen the 3rd volume before I put this post together. Perhaps the series wasn't the success that Fleetway hoped and they reduced the print run for volume 3 accordingly??

UPDATED: Ace Ventura, pet detective comic

 A recent episode of 'Sonic the comic the podcast' (#88 to be precise) reminded me of the existence of the Ace Ventura, pet detective comic. I thought I'd follow up that with a covers gallery but it turns out to be a tough series to find covers for. The Grand comics database list it as lasting 11 issues - but it only has a cover for issue #7. Contributors to #7 include Tom Frame, Dan Abnett & John Moore.

Any help finding these other issues would be much appreciated!

Donkey Kong jungle action special

I recently became aware of this Fleetway produced Donkey Kong jungle action special comic (from 1995). I don't (yet!) own a copy so I've had to have a quick Google to see what I can find out about it...

The best resource I can find about the comic is here. More details once I get hold of a copy but the wiki credits Nigel Kitching as the artist, John Moore as the artists and Tom Frame & Ellie De Ville as the letterers.
