Crikey! is the only magazine devoted to British comics, and let’s face it, there have been very few precedents, so I hope all readers of this blog will support it so that it can continue to thrive. Remember, Crikey! doesn’t have the backing of a major publisher behind it so it’s up to us to keep such independent publications alive.
