Okay, peeps, while I've got the comics out, here are the first five covers of NIPPER, IPC's A5 sized comic from the late '80s.  The remaining 11 A3 sized comics are up in my loft somewhere, but once I've located them, I'll do part two.

Ooh, something to look forward too, eh?  Anybody want to see some of the contents?
