Cover artwork: Tony Husband

On this day, 31 May 1986 … Mary Lighthouse kidnapped by the TARDIS, an alien stink-powered hot air balloon, porcine street bikers in a food fight with Mafia butchers, scrum-down on top of a human brain, space frog jelly and Transformers versus Deckchairs. Oh, and pig butts on the front cover and a poster of Luke Skyporker and Ham Solo. It’s all here in your super sci-fi-themed third issue of Oink! What a breath of fresh stale air! Kids’ comics really were starting to become fun again.
