UPDATED: VR Troopers - from Phoenix Press

UPDATE (21/04/26) - now with covers for issues 2 & 3 of the Marvel UK magazine added

I've looked before at independent comics publisher Phoenix Press...

...and here's another addition to their work, yes it's the "Saban's VR Troopers - official 3D comic" - a tie-in to the populat TV series of the time (1995/6).

The Phoenix Press title is definitely much harder to find than the version that Marvel published. The art (and writing) in these comics is uncredited and might best be described as competent.

Here's what you're looking for...

The German edition of the comic had the same covers (and presumably the same contents) but they were published a few months after the British version.

cover not to hand - can you help?
The German edition of the comic had the same covers (and presumably the same contents) but they were published a few months after the British version, so, in the absence of the British edition, here's the German version 

German covers are taken from here

There were also this from Marvel comic - albeit with no comics content. Again I'm unsure how long this lasted.
