A treasure from the past. Print run was 2.5 years through 86-88.

Lying halfway between Buster and Viz, was Oink! A cheeky, pig-themed, politically aware comic, that generated some hilarous lampoons of other comic strips and media personalities.

Great writers, who came from, and went on to do some further outstanding works.

Favourite strip was New Wave Dave.

Showing my age, but I actually bought a few issues of that comic at the newsstand. Money was tight though, and when I was forced to make a choice I went back to my first love, superhero comics.
