1990 Holiday Special (full Issue)...

We zoom headlong to the 90s for a very uninspiring Holiday Special, but Look-in had its fans still, and we will carry on and try to please these fans too.  New Kids on the Block were the big thing, also Lisa Stansfield was high on the crest of stardom, On TV Home & Away was the big runaway success, and in strip form Dogtanian and Duckula,  hope you enjoy it anyway....
