A new issue of our digi-zine, Between the Scanlines, is now out!

This issue: features on Jerry Lawson, 2000AD games on microcomputer, and the early days of id!

As much as we can spare from sales will be donated to the Black History Foundation.
A screencap of the cover issue of our zine for this month, with its pink-palette PC-98 artwork of a 90s desktop PC on a busy looking desk with draws and pencils and a mouse and mousemat, converted to Mega Drive's resolution/palette.
