(Still glad I did eventually learn who that "John" guy everyone kept mentioning in the letters was)

Fairly impressed. First issues, but no invitations to write or e-mail in. I would have liked to. Sure, I could find a generic/standard e-mail address for those publishers, but who's to say they'd publish an e-mail?

A letters page e-mail, and an invitation to write/e-mail, would be helpful. Otherwise, I could be e-mailing anyone, i.e. the teaboy or reprographics assistant if I simply e-mail a generic address.

Years ago, a UK comic complained that it hadn't received letters. I did point out (on a forum) that they hadn't invited anyone to write/e-mail in. Yes, like any publisher, their address is public domain, but most comics/magazines require a specific e-mail address for letters.

I subscribe to LAND ROVER MONTHLY, but I wouldn't be able to e-mail my thoughts to the generic address as I think that's simply for the publisher or advertising department. So I e-mail the specific letters page address.

Come on, publishers, invite people to e-mail. You'll complain about no letters but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy: don't invite anyone to write in and they won't. And then you'll complain no-one ever writes in!

I recall writing in once but not getting published, but then again I wasn't as eloquent (nor prolific) as others.  I'm guessing that they published a few of many in each issue.

And I too enjoyed A FLAME THIS HIGH

Also, did those x-ray specs work? If so, how? Or was it a big con?

Seem to recall superhero toothbrushes in one issue, too.

Magical times...
