Elstree 76 is fantastic, so this looks like it’ll be worth your time…

This year has been our busiest year yet- we published three very different books.

Stock of The Editors Cut and The Running Man is now less than thirty of each left, and Lost Treasures is less than 90.
Get these now while you can, because they will sell out. Buy them here now- hiberniacomics.com
