I believe he started it in the late 70's/early 80's, and it ran for about 25 issues. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the gap between issues grew longer and longer, for lack of time and funds (Although members paid something like £3.50 for 6 issues, this fell some way short of the actual cost), and this probably ultimately killed it off because there was no shortage of enthusiasm or contributions from numerous members.<br /><br />One of Geoff's main aims was to give encouragement and advice to contributors of art and features, so they could develop their skills. This meant that he'd often print some pretty dodgy artwork etc and then you'd find the self-same contributors, improving quite quickly thereafter.<br /><br />Cerebro did actually have some fans who went on to become comic book pros. Whether that was down to Geoff, only they would know.Topazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012160109262114991noreply@blogger.com
