With so many complaints for this series it finally came to head with this issue with its cover text with suicide references.
Newsagents would ban this issue & claimed they would stop stocking all IPC issues. Therefore all issues where pulped with 30 copied saved.
The last copy to be sold through ebay went for £1320.00 and again for £4110.75
There was a modern offical reprint with a slightly smaller size of (9 x 7.25 inches) printed by Rebellion. The rear cover is not the same as the original, the reprint back cover is yellow with the Action logo.
The reprint issue seems to have glossy paper & straight edges where as the original has serrated outer edges
