Ring Raiders - the German issues!

A recent discovery for me are these German edition of Ring Raiders comic. The British edition lasted just six issues (plus a special) but in Germany there were nine issues, published by Bastei Verlag.

I wonder if there issues 7-9 had stuff in them that would have been in the British version? If you know then please DO get in touch.

According to the German Comic Hunters website, the regular series ran for issues, published monthly from February to November 1990.

There were also three collected editions, and one extra issue (ExtraHeft”), published directly by Matchbox.
