Comic news monthly was a comics fanzine produced in 1984 by (then comic shop owner) Gary Spencer Millidge. Rare! Further examples welcomed. I love the Alan Davis cover for issue 14.

I've updated (again) my listing of adverts for comic shop 'Dark they were and golden eyed'. Many thanks to all those who contributed adverts. Artists involved in these adverts include Dave Gibbons, Bryan Talbot, Garry Leach, Alan Moore (!), David Lloyd and more.
