Well, now I know that there were at least TWO issues of Marvel UK's (seemingly very short-lived!) 'Moomins' comic - anybody know if there was a third issue (or maybe more?)

Not sure I've covered 'Investors Chronicle' (stop yawning!) on the blog before but seeing as it hired John M Burns to provide covers it's ok by me! 3 covers found so far, 4 to go.

An update to my covers gallery for 'Tiny Toons Adventures' from 1994 (not to be confused with the Marvel UK title of the same name published in 1992/3) - it lasted at least 6 issues but maybe more??
