Michael Carroll's timeline of Marvel UK comics (here) has an array of interestingly short-lived comics on that I thought I should create cover galleries for them. Sometimes this is easier said than done but let's look at Beep! Beep! from 1989/90.
First issue has a cover date of 25th March 1989 (priced at 45p and with a free badge).
It merged with Sylvanian families (whose final issue was #30, cover dated 2nd December 1989) with issue 20. The title then becomes Beep! Beep! presents original Sylvanian Families
See my work on Sylvanian Families here.
Denis Gifford (in ACE newsletter #113. March/April 1990) records issue #24 as being the final issue. That's 2 issues more than Michael records. We'll only know for sure who's right I suppose if/when a cover for issue 24 is found.
Searching for covers for this is hard because there's a title with the same name all about a popular cartoon road runner character. Sigh.

Marvel UK had produced an Acorn Green comic in 1986/87 so I wonder if this is new Acorn Green material or reprints?
