You could almost see this issue as a mini holiday special or as a follow up to last year’s summery #7. Looking at #35 you’d not notice it unless you read the copyright blurb at the bottom of the Grunts letters page so you may be wondering why I’m giving it such prominence right at the beginning of this review.Ī wonderful selection of input from the readers which co-editor Patrick Gallagher tailored to the theme of the issue, that of travel. There’s so much great stuff to come over the remainder of this year in particular (1987 in old money) but first I want to touch upon something, a change which seemed so small and insignificant but which would ultimately decide OiNK’s fate.īy coincidence Fleetway Publications took over from IPC Magazines at the exact halfway point in the comic’s eventual 68-issue run and it’s only with hindsight that I can say it was an incredibly important moment. As far as the (much) younger version of me was concerned the comic was going to run and run just like Beano or The Dandy with OiNK being my first comic I had yet to experience any kind of cancellation. Of course, we didn’t know this was the case at the time. With Ian Jackson back on cover duties off we go with the second half of OiNK’s run.
