UPDATED: Marvel UK's Madballs comic

Following on from my 'Captain Planet' post yesterday I thought I'd look at another Marvel UK title I've not previously covered. So here's Madballs for your enjoyment, from 1987/8, an 8 issue series. 

I don't own of these issues so I've had to pinch them off the internet. It's hard to tell if the covers are showing you a children's horror comic (covers to issues 1 and 5) or whether it's a kids comic (covers to issues 2, 3, 4 & 7). Anyway, enjoy! 

UPDATE...cover to issue #6 has now been added

I put the post up on a facebook group and, as you can see from the note below, John Michael Burns (renowned colourist and nephew of artist John M Burns) commented about colouring the cover for #1
