UPDATED: Bea comic - Marvel UK

One of the rarest comics ever produced by Marvel UK was 'Bea' - only 7 issues were produced in 1989/90 and, until recently, I'd never even see these. 

I still need cover images for issue 2-5, so if you can help then please do get in touch.  All new material is highlighted in red.
