UPDATED: Celebrity comics - Rupert

I've occasionally looked at publisher Celebrity comics in the past...

Count Duckula is here
The wisdom of gnomes is here
Wanted is here

And there may be other titles out there just waiting to be discovered. One such title that was new to me was their Rupert comic from 1989/90. There are a LOT of Rupert comics out there so I'm currently parking this in the 'too difficult' to deal with category. I'll return to it at some point I'm sure. In the meantime if you can help with any details do just get in touch.

I recently spotted an auction lot on eBay for these comics - so I've clipped a few images from the listing for my covers gallery below. 

UPDATE: We now know that the title lasted 20 issues. All new images highlighted in red. Interestingly issue 10 has the publisher recorded as Celebrity but by issue 12 the publisher has been amended to Clearmark.
