One of the great successes in the field of traditional children's comics has been the reintroduction on bi monthly basis of Monster Fun which does have actual children reading rather than legally adult retro fans but recently a communication came that indicated all new cartoon strips with new characters would be featured from the beginning of this year.
As well although understandedly guarded, it was indicated there had been discussion about how extra issues of Monster Fun exclusively for Fang Club members such as me although they can't say how but we're to expect further news in the year about that.
It also proved popular in vinyl although that had a truncated three lp edition and recently a set of five lps covering 1980 through to 1984 with a selection from the cd Extras that had not had a vinyl issue at all.
Currently last Friday saw Now Yearbook 1985 Extra issued on cd and many had considered what the next step in the series was going to be following a Now Yearbook Additional volume '80-84 on four cd book form and three lp vinyl.
Now it appears that for cd a Extra set dedicated to that wil be issued late February wrapping up that era.
Whither in March we leap into 1986 which is a bit marginal given only tracks issued on HITS 4 are missing on cd compilations as NOW7 and 8 were reissued a few years back on cd and HITS 5 was a long single cd as well as the norm of the double lp and tape or we leap back into 1978 remains to be seen.
I'd rather have 1978 personally, lots of memories of FA Cup, World Cup, Grease! school trips and so on.
