1993: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST COMIC BOOK HOUSE AD (Innovation)

From March 1993: An Innovation Comics house ad hailing the launch of their impressive (but ultimately short-lived... the company went bust at the end of the year, sinking several pretty good media tie-ins) BEAUTY AND THE BEAST monthly comic book, based on the defunct CBS drama (shown erratically by ITV in the UK) with a strong cult (and mostly female) following.

      Thanks for the heads up. This looks like a port across of the US edition. I have the American release of the first season (only six episodes) and can confirm the extras are well worth seeing. Hopefully the same is true for the whole run.

      The £100 price tag means I won't be buying a set until the price is substantially reduced. I could buy 100 things to post on STARLOGGED for the same outlay. Ha.

    Innovation also published comics for DARK SHADOWS and LOST IN SPACE.

    American Gothic Press have just brought out a new LIS comic and its very nice.

      And QUANTUM LEAP of course. Another example of using a media property to reach out to audiences who wouldn't usually think about buying comic books (to be blunt: women) in the early 1990s.
