UPDATED: Saban's Masked Rider comic - 1997

An item caught my eye on Facebook the other day, it was this...Saban's Masked Rider comic

...dated 19th Feb 1997 this is issue 1 (dated 19th February 1997)

Friend of the blog Alan Craddock noticed my interest and has very kindly shared with me (and now you!) all these other lovely images...

In the US the series only lasted one issue as, according to this website, the license was lost. Which would make the UK comic lasting "about 8 issues" even more interesting.

Over on ComicArtFans (here) there's a piece of Jon Haward original art from a newspaper strip that ran in the Young Telegraph.

There was (in the UK) an associated annual as well... 

...featuring art by Sandy James...
