UPDATED: - Fusion covers

I'm grateful to Andrew Wolf for bringing these fanzine to my attention. He did so over on the "Fans of Alan Davis" Facebook page (here). I've not seen other covers for Fusion so if you can help me out with other images that'd be great. Andrew says 9 issues all with a print run of less than 200 copies.

UPDATE (24/09/26); now with covers for issues 8 & 9 added + a piece of interior art from issue #6 (thanks to friend of the blog Andrew Wolf - check out his Miracleman blog on Tumblr here)

UPDATE (21/07/26); now with covers for issues 1 & 3 added

UPDATED: 'Battleground' fanzine

A new one for me is this covers gallery for Battleground ('The comics discussion fanzine') from back in the day. I'd love to know how many issues this lasted. I remember seeing adverts for this in the back of Comics International but I never ordered a copy, more fool me by the looks of it - this looks great!

Updated: now with cover for issue 6 - covers gallery completed!

Ewan Brownlow says 6 issues only

cover by Chris Hogg

'From the tomb' fanzine

All these images were swiped from an ebay sale last year even though EC comics aren't something that I normally cover on the blog. Anyway, I swiped the images because

a). I've covered plenty of other British comic fanzines

b). It's great to see a complete set of these fanzines

c). I've certainly never seen those really early issues before

Anyway, enjoy & happy collecting!
