+ | |||
+ | In the UK, the Dark Horse comics were released by Titan, and interestingly were bookended with several features unique to the United Kingdom, including mail-in art and Q&As with fans, as well as special featurettes on the show. One of the feature writers was "Paul Travers", a pseudonym for editor John Freeman. The stories did not follow Dark Horse's order. The run was canceled after six issues, despite issue 9 being solicited in issue #82 (June 1997) of Comics International. | ||

UK Titan Comics
In the UK, the Dark Horse comics were released by Titan, and interestingly were bookended with several features unique to the United Kingdom, including mail-in art and Q&As with fans, as well as special featurettes on the show. One of the feature writers was "Paul Travers", a pseudonym for editor John Freeman. The stories did not follow Dark Horse's order. The run was canceled after six issues, despite issue 9 being solicited in issue #82 (June 1997) of Comics International.
We would love to find more of these if you have them. (Thanks to this site for additional information.)
