A lesser concern is the contents of The Real Ghostbusters Collected Comics. I'd assumed, like Combat Colin, the title could never reprint the story involving the Gwanzulums, until I ran into a 2005 Titan omnibus in Stourbridge library and there it was clear as day
09.11.2025 09:55 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0...but there never WAS a strip where Col and Steve tried to gatecrash a 200th issue party. There was one where they tried to gatecrash the Transformers' *Christmas* party – is there a weird Christmasless edit inside no. 9?
09.11.2025 09:50 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Front cover of The Marvel Bumper Comic issue no. 9 (cover date 21st Jan 89). A brightly coloured, wacky computer shows pictures of Slimer (from Ghostbusters), Dr Who (Sylvester McCoy), Combat Colin and Semi-Automatic Steve, and ALF (ALF). The hand of Galvatron rests on the computer's keyboard. A phone handset sits nearby, with a speech bubble reading "TRANSFORMERS is 200 issues old this week, boys – so watch out! They'll probably try something on!"
Transformers was never reprinted in the Marvel Bumper Comic (that we know of), but Galvatron cameoed on the front of issue 9, where a voice warns him that Combat Colin and Steve might try to gatecrash their 200th issue celebrations

Me latest white whale is the Marvel Bumper Comic. A Marvel UK monthly anthology title that ran for 31 issues plus a special. We know what all the covers look like but the contents are an enigma. There could be all sorts of Combat Colin reprints in them. And I'd buy 'em myself but, well,

Then I looked up the RRP of the first release of the same pack, and it was £29.99, and I didn't feel like I'd made a savings. Then I looked up inflation, and £29.99 back in 2010 is about £60 today. So now I feel a bit better
