Beeb was a short-lived weekly comic published by Polystyle Publications in 1985. As its title suggests, the comic was based around BBC TV series, and can perhaps be seen as a continuation of sorts of the long-running TV Comic, which had entered Polystyle's hands before perishing the previous year.
As well as strips, it included features starring celebrities such as David Icke, Erkan Mustafa, Gary Glitter and Michael Jackson.[1]
The comic lasted only twenty issues. Colin Shelbourn, editor of rival publication Look-In, blamed this on a lack of promotion from the BBC.[2]
Strips included...
- "Automan"
- "Bananaman"
- "The Family Ness"
- "Grange Hill"
- "One by One"
- "The Tripods"
