I seem to be missing (doh!) the issue that would have been cover-dated 11 August. I don't know if this is a gap in the collection I acquired or whether this issue was lost in the NUJ strike which hit IPC's output, across the board, that summer.
I certainly recall that several of the comics I bought regularly were hit but I can't recall which ones now. The most famous casualty was - of course - SCREAM! which went on hiatus... and never returned.
** UPDATE - I've tracked down a copy of the missing issue (part of my existing box of copies I've accumulated over the years) and posted it below! Hurrah **
The strike was bad timing for the KP Skips Free Comics promotion and I plan on doing a post about that offer in the near-future.
There was an issue for the week of 11th August, issue 125.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip-off. I went back through my stash of random back issues and I managed to find a copy of the illusive issue. Next time I have a scanning session, I'll add it to the pile and post it here.
Thanks again
