1988 = £2.95 / $5.95
There is heavy sci-fi action within- with a twinge of alien horror. The stories are very weird and sometimes it hurts them. They are also very short and most could advantage from more content.
->VERY UK<-
Their tremendous knowledge of sound and electricity gets to pretty nerdy levels.
Only the spectacular art brought this to ****. It's a wild 1980's Dick Corbenish medley of psychedelia.
