Steve Bell’s Gremlins wrought havoc on the pages of Jackpot.

These inky little critters were terrific creations, swarming and destroying physical objects in seconds - a sort of non-flesh-eating Vashta Nerada.

This week (and the following week), Jackpot printed a ‘league ladder’ system for recording one’s favourites in the comic. I have very fond memories of this - it appealed to some dark corner of my mind that needed to list, record and rank.
