1984 No.49 (full issue)...

The latest one from Dan, and it's the one that completes the 1984 weekly issues, No.49.  Shaky is on the cover and is inside in a big feature alongside a large picture, This is one of those issues that had a poster advert in the centre, so Shaky was suitably cut in half, the only way to see him in full was to pull him out of the centre.  The file contains the picture as you would have seen it reading the mag and at the end the full poster.  and interesting sports feature asking sports stars who they'd like to change places with if they wern't themselves, the CAP is OMD.  Also this week you may notice the Robin strip has a blacked out frame, this is to do with Colin Shelbournes anti violence stance, as a death scene was blacked out, as it was thought too much for a childs eyes, still looking for the 1984 Summer and Winter specials if anyone can help.......enjoy....
