Can anybody confirm whether or not Hotspur published a summer special in 1980 or later perhaps featuring a Starhawk strip?

Can't believe Al hasn't got ANY Hotspur specials on display in the specials section, he normally has such a comprehensive selection.
The website is looking good Cap (and has come on loads recently it seems) but the site address is
http://starhawkcrunch.tripod.com/
I think you've got one too many forward slashes in your link. Just trying to help!

Thanks for that info Kashgar.Judging by your knowledge displayed in other posts I think I can confidently accept that as Gospel.The site is in mourning as I was hoping for some Starhawk gems.Ah well.I stilll find it hard to believe D.C. Thomson never produced a Summer Special for Hotspur given its remarkable longevity!!!!Other titles including Bullet,which lasted about 2 years and others all had summer specials.Its a travesty!
