I mentioned before that I had one sorry, solitary issue of an Earthworm Jim comic in the ’90s, and was surprised not just by the dire lack of information on it online, but that it wasn’t the only one — there was a Marvel Comics mini-series as well! I was on a short-lived Jim kick after my stint with the games, and you better believe I had to gobble up whatever media I hadn’t consumed yet.

I feel like I owe people an apology on behalf of my Turok column…! Firstly, for leaving it dormant for so long; COVID kind of threw the world for a loop, plus my own iffy health, other responsibilities, procrastination, any number of excuses. You know how it is.
Secondly, I feel like it led people to believe I’m a comics person. I’m really not! I respect comics in so many ways, and I do hope that comes across in my write-ups, but the total number of comic series I’ve read can probably be counted on my fingers and my toes.
It’s been so long I sincerely can’t recall what my local newsagents carried…! I collected Sonic the Comic for its entire run from around issue #50 onwards, and I did read The Beano for longer than was healthy; whatever I owned was donated to the children of parent friends years ago, and I’ve nothing to show for them in my collection. Aside from those, I’m drawing a blank! Obviously kiddies football magazines were on shelves, but I don’t believe newsagents dealt in traditional American comics, not unless they were published in a different format.
