    Got it today. I think the first issue I bought since… about 4 years ago? Not usually a DWM fan but, come on, it’s the 500th issue, how could I say no? 😀

    I still remember buying the very first issue when I was 12. I kept the free transfers for ages but when I moved house in 1991, I lost the whole collection ….. 🙁

    It’s kind of weird how long this has been running, yet it’s still only on it’s 500th issue, probably because it’s monthly
