I remember buying a few issues as a teenager and loved the illustrations, but can't remember much about the comic content. Was this the UK version/competitor of an American magazine in the same ilk?

They used to pick on a 'current' popular/well known film in one of the features, each month ?

....and do a p*ss take ?

(Was it a monthly magazine ?)

Cheers - Phil  :-\

It was a US magazine - I subscribed as a kid/teenager and loved it. No idea if it is still around. It was a sort of (very tame) forerunner to Viz (in some ways).

A few years back we were in a junk shop, when on holiday, and there was a small terracotta bust of the 'mad' lad ... it now sits pride of place on a shelf in our downstairs loo ...    :D

Aye, Can remember them 'doing' Excalibur (which dates me . . .). Didn't it have a Spy vs Spy comic strip in there as well?

You can still get it but only on-line subscription.  I think the satire is a bit more sophisticated these days.

I loved the film spoofs, but remember the fold in?

Don't remember that but think I remember the 'Mad' guy's name - Alfred E. Neuman?
