What’s Old: Scream and Scream Again! #1 (1984) with Free Gift
A UK classic in our previously-listed spot this week. The short-lived and notorious title Scream!, intended as a horror-themed companion to 2000 AD in 1984, fell foul to censorious cretins early in its existence. Despite prestigious contributors – including Alan Moore in its early issues – was pressurised off the nation’s newsstands during a strike after only fifteen weekly issues, belatedly – and without so much as the traditional ‘great news, chums!’ – merging a couple of its strips into Eagle series 2, albeit in greatly diluted form. We’ve lost count of how many sets of Scream we’ve sold over the years, but they never hang around in stock for long. We offer for your consideration our sole remaining issue of Scream! (at the moment) the #1 issue, a sparkling FN copy, comes with the Free Gift (Dracula Fangs) mint and unopened in its original bag and still taped to the front cover. #1 on sale for £50.
