That's right. I understand there was a problem with IPC when Time-Warner became involved. (The stated "computer woes" were a different, recent glitch.) However Steve now seems to be concentrating on material from Look and Learn (Eagles Over the Western Front) which is a separate license.

Unfortunately I doubt we'll see any Fleetway/Odhams/IPC material from Bear Alley in the near future.

You were right, Niblet! The Bear Alley books website certainly did become inaccessible for a long while.
