PLEASE! CAREFULLY READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TAPES AND DVD:

Be aware of the different Regions and recording Formats. UK tapes and DVD are PAL format - and DVD discs are Region 2, which means that, PAL TAPES ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH UK VIDEO SYSTEMS AND REGION 2 DVD DISCS ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH EUROPEAN PLAYERS -- THEY WILL NOT WORK IN US EQUIPMENT. Unless you have a system that will enable you too, you will not be able to view those medias in North American machines, which use NTSC recording format, and Region 1 for DVD discs. The same is true the other way around.

Those of you interested in the "U.F.O.", "Fireball XL-5" and "Supercar" comics by Misc!MAYHEM may be wondering what is presently going on with those titles, which had not appeared as they were announced - So far, only Number 0 of "Supercar" has been published. Don't despair, people! You'll be happy to know that neither title has been cancelled. "Fireball XL5" and "Supercar" are presently being repackaged in a 48-page book called "SUPERMARIONATION ADVENTURES", while UFO is still planned as a stand-alone series.
