FWIW, please now keep this thread clean of all replies other than those that have issue listings. Once it's done, I'll clean up the thread (removing non-listing posts) and pin it.

Sorry to distrupt this thread but earlier today I was knocking about doing an online guide of the old issues unaware that you lot have started doing something similar.

I have put the first issue guide up online here The page doesn't have any links active yet but it's just to give you an idea. Let me know what you think or if I'm wasting my time as the this thread seems to be doing the outline as it is!

Oh and web design was never my strong point [/url]

Yours is more of a contents page than straight lists, with additional notes and cover art, which probably makes it worthwhile on its own. It's up to you whether you feel it's worth continuing, but you could always pool resources with the chap leading this thread and both use the same info.
