*Undergrounds: A massive and overdue addition to our underground section, including both ‘classic’ undergrounds from the USA, ‘nu-wave’ American series, and a whole lot of alt. ‘zines from the UK. Titles refreshed include Alien Encounters, the Alternative Headmaster’s Bulletin, Bop, Brainstorm Comix (early work by Bryan Talbot), Cozmic Comics, Flash Fearless, Gates of Eden, Images (early Phil Elliott ‘Doc Chaos’ & other works), It’s Only Rock & Roll Comics, Vaughn Bode’s Junkwaffel, the Man Who learned To Fly (early Frazer Irving), Necron, Pssst!, Rip Off, Smile, Spasm! (all-Jeff Jones), Velocity, and – top of the shop – a VF hardcover collection  of John Kent’s 1970’s comic strip from the Guardian newspaper, Varoomshka, in which our buxom heroine lampooned prominent political figures of the day such as Harold Wilson, Ted Heath, and Margaret Thatcher, while unencumbered by much in the way of clothing. (Her, not them, we hasten to add; that would have been a much less appealing prospect!)
