Thanks to the kindness of Comics Historian, Peter Hansen (issues 3 & 4), and to ‘The Zephyr archive’ (issues 5 & 7) I’ve just uploaded these early issues of BEM to the archive.

BEM was a hugely popular Newszine, edited by Martin Lock. You can see an improvement already here from issue to issue, and you can track the zine’s progression in full here.

Only one issue from the 36 published remains left to be scanned and uploaded, and I’ll get that sorted sometime in the next few weeks.

Direct links to these issues:

BEM 3

BEM 4

BEM 5

BEM 7
