Anyone else got this D.C comic from may 96. The whole comic Is about a fictional match between Brighton and palace. Basically an Americans cliched idea of what football violence in the u.k was like. I found it in the loft the other day and wondered if anyone else has got it or if it's worth anything?

O.k thanks. I didn't really think it would be worth anything, more hope Than expectation. It's a pretty crap and corny story but I might keep it anyway.

Any chance you could scan a couple of pages for us? Looks epic.

I am sold by the cover, the whole thing looks as though it could be so spectacularly bad that it is actually good!

Here you are James. Don't think you can zoom in but at the top of the first photo it says " one blue-clad Brighton buffoon spews venomous vile invective at the poor innocent palace boys"
Bloody Americans

Cheers for that, I might have to get one on eBay.

Also, is that girl getting hit by a spanner saying 'Howay the Brighton'?

Do these Brighton hooli-heroes end up spearing Bellotti and Archer at the end?

In fairness they are chanting "Seagulls" in the picture, does Chuck Norris appear in it and say "Brighton's gonna score". Found this on Wiki

Hellblazer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seems there is a whole series of them.

Unfortunately not. It's about 3 arsenal fans can't go to see the gooners as they haven't got a game so they decide to join up with palace fans to kick the shit out of the evil Brighton. At the end of the game the 3 arsenal decide to run over to Brighton fans to kick off but the palace boys "whimp out" and lone arsenal boys get their heads kicked in by Brighton hoolies. One of the hoolies is Hellblazer in a blue and White scarf who stabs one of the gooners to death and drags him to hell.
All quite philosophical and heartwarming really
