On The Newsstand...

[MacNimon]

This thread is intended to look at what was available to buy this particular week (or month), years past. The majority of what I will feature will be comics covers (not only because they're the easiest to find!) but I'll try to add magazines, books and LPs into the mix as well when possible to try to give a bit of context, although these will possibly be more likely when I'm looking at a month rather than a week. Unlike previous cover threads, this won't be a daily one but probably limited to a few per week...

Exact weeks covers were hard to find, so to represent this period some January issues of TV Times and Radio Times are next...

Smash Hits...

Next time, I'll be having a more general look at what was available in that same month in general, ie magazines, monthly comics, etc
