Back in 1983 comic artist, writer and archivist Lew Stringer published his fanzine Fantasy Express, and Issue 5 contained one of the first interviews with Alan Moore, plus an exclusive cover by Alan Davis.
It’s a great issue, which also includes features on “Johnny Future” and TV Action and Countdown comic, and quite a gem of a zine.
Lew has unearthed another unsold copy of this rarity – he only printed 150 to 200 printed, 41 years ago! It’s in excellent condition and has already gained its £30 asking price, but if you’re an Alan Davis or Moore fan with deep pockets, head over to eBay and check it out!
