UPDATED: Nemesis the ride the comic

I'd love to have a copy of this comic in my collection - yes it's a tie-in comic for a theme park ride at Alton Towers! Of course it is.

These are expensive to buy!

and finally we have some shots of the interior artwork (and a list of creator credits, whoop!)

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

A1 (1992) by Atomeka & Epic

A couple of recent purchases (and the death of Garry Leach) has spurred me on to look at Atomeka Press. A look at the Grand Comics database (here) is helpful (thanks for the images!) but incomplete. So, I thought I'd try and rustle up my own complete (?) list of Atomeka publications.

I've looked at the original A1 series (from 1989) here

The Epic comics anthology (from 1992) is here

Now, thanks to friend of the blog Reuben Willmott we can look at some more Atomeka titles...
