From 1993 here's a look at 'The incredible crash dummies' comics. Published by Redan it lasted at least 5 issues and even a 'best of' issue. More information sought.

I don't recall a cartoon series but I do remember that the 'dummies' were suddenly, very briefly 'a thing' and were everywhere, and then they just were gone. All very odd.

The cover to Fantasy Advertiser #18 (1968) by Steve Moore is currently up for sale, a rare, rare piece from what feels like the dawn of comics fandom. It's on a 'buy it now' so don't delay if you're interested! I'm not the selller.

'The big greenie' comic - a kids comic from 1995 supposedly about environmental issues. Not sure any comic with a strip called 'One day on death row' can really be aimed at kids but there you go. Only 3 issues.

There's still some work to do to complete my covers gallery for the Marvel UK The real Ghostbusters collected comics but I've filled a few gaps recently and now know it ran for at least 13 issues. Any further help much appreciated.

Superted was really popular back in the day right? Yet issues of the tie-in comic that Marvel UK produced seem REALLY hard to come by! Hey ho. 3 issues added to the covers gallery.
