Crap Rules Everything Around Me.

As I mentioned last week, we got a magazine at the bootsale that is the sort of also ran trash we used to see all the time, when Viz made it big back in the early 90's.

The sort of knock off comics like Oink, Zit and Smut comics, that sprang up around that time but never seemed to have the lasting power of Viz. Also, holy shit, after reading that wiki article, Oink had some decent contributors there. I can remember a strip in one of them called Tourettes of Duty, and I think Reeders wife, after the amateur porn trope Reader's Wives.

This bastard, I have no recollection of. It's sort of like a crap photo love comic strip, crossed between the sort of lad culture that was big around that time and the aforementioned knock off Viz style comic. Is it funny, not really it has its moments, but it's not going to set the world on fire. A quick Jammy search, brings up a companies house search with the former MD here, and seeing as its based out of Harrow, North London, kinda rings true. 

The style, reminds me of the kind of cheap softcore porn mag you'd find ripped up under the hedge near your school. A Parade or Cheap Thrills type rather than the expected Mayfair. Fiesta or Razzle. 

I'd list all that was in it but, I've taken the liberty to scan it and put it up on archive.org. 

You can read and indeed download, Cream issue 2 here

Incidentally that implies there is an issue one out there and indeed any more after that, I'm guessing looking at companies house look up that there was at least one more issue put out.
