There's a story to be unpicked somewhere about all the following characters and, right now, I'm not sure how it all hangs together so I just need to start somewhere by working out all the instances of the character appearances that I've found so far.
The characters are Star Bears, Scare Bears and Were Bears...
UPDATE (01/05/26): Here's a 48 page long, full colour, A4 sized comic that I've never seen before...
and here's the back page...
So the comic contents are as follows...
1). front cover - 1 page
2). Scare Bears meet the St. John badgers - 2 pages, new material
3). Star Bears - 4 pages, (reprinted from Zodiac comic #1)
4). Scare Bears - 4 pages, (reprinted from Zodiac comic #1)
5). Scare Bears - 12 pages
6). Star Bears - 4 pages, (reprinted from Zodiac comic #2)
7). map of the events going on in Hyde Park that day - 2 pages
8). Star Bears - 4 pages, (reprint from Zodiac comic #3)
9). Scare Bears - 4 pages, (possible reprint from Zodiac comic #4)
10). Star Bears - 6 pages, (possible reprint from Zodiac comic #4)
11). Scare Bears - 3 pages, reprinted from Zodiac comic #2
12). advert - 1 page
13). rear cover - 1 page
UPDATED: I've found an image of the Scare Bears stickers (25 in a pack for 24p!) so I've added that in below...
1). Star Bears
Created by Craig Dixon and Matt Gibas
2). Scare Bears
Illustrated by Craig Dixon and Matt Gibas
Illustrated by George Nicholas
This featured in the sticker book (here)
there was also the Scare Bears monster party book that I looked at here
and this has two newspaper style strips
plus this full-colour 12-page strip (illustrated by George Nicholas - my list of his work here)
another comic from George Nicholas - which I looked at in more detail here - a title from 1990/1. So I'm assuming that the Scare Bears evolved into Were bears
