UPDATED: Nemesis the ride the comic

I'd love to have a copy of this comic in my collection - yes it's a tie-in comic for a theme park ride at Alton Towers! Of course it is.

These are expensive to buy!

and finally we have some shots of the interior artwork (and a list of creator credits, whoop!)

Donkey Kong jungle action special

I recently became aware of this Fleetway produced Donkey Kong jungle action special comic (from 1995). I don't (yet!) own a copy so I've had to have a quick Google to see what I can find out about it...

The best resource I can find about the comic is here. More details once I get hold of a copy but the wiki credits Nigel Kitching as the artist, John Moore as the artists and Tom Frame & Ellie De Ville as the letterers.

Max Overload issue 2

Previously I've looked at Max Overload (1994, from the relatively short-lived publisher imprint Dark Horse International) - the 2nd issues, dated April 1994, has now arrived. There is no 3rd issue - due, according to this link, to Dark Horse International going bust in 1994.

Anyway, good luck tracking down this rare comic & gaming magazine mash-up...it's got 32 pages of comics content in a 64 page magazine so that's a pretty good ratio as far as I'm concerned.
