HI went looking and found a couple of archives online that had scans of BEEB, but having collated various sources came to the conclusion they were all from the same origin. So I nabbed the highest quality I could get of those scans (far higher res than the twitter posts, but still just jpegs) and did a very quick and dirty straighten/crop scan bed backgrounds off/tweak levels to present the pages in a slightly better format. The cover is a ten-minute super-fast job, nothing like what I'd usually do. The whole run of twenty parts (57 pages) is here in a cbr if anyone wants: drive.google.com/file/d/1wCSRxydGFclpHW_MDyM9PiyhUU4gAqJT/view?usp=sharingBeeb also had original strips for One by One, Grange Hill and Automan. Tripods was obviously high profile as it's the only strip still in colour by the end of the run, aside from the one page funnies for The Family Ness and Bananaman. Au-auto-Auto! There was an Automan strip?? -Ralph

I was more surprised there was a One by One strip! I mean, what?
Yes, two pages a week. Started in colour ended up B/W. Not a US reprint - same style as the Tripods one but not Burns and no artist name on it to know who.

Wait, is Automan a good or a bad thing? I've no idea. Does Ralph need a cbr with all the pages in?

We know full well he'll never read it because he'll claim as usual he doesn't read comics digitally, but here for anyone curious is the full Automan story. In this case it finished in issue 18 with a 'the end', so this is the full 36 page story in its entirety. I haven't done anything to the pages this time. drive.google.com/file/d/1JBhsv9IfeyfIDPjV-zf6iHhIfZbHIBvr/view?usp=sharing

Indeed. Perhaps we need to prepare a special printed version then.

Oh I had already steeled myself for it poking through the letterbox one day.

36 pages would fit nine sheets of A3 very nicely...
