As you say this was an amazing time of innovation in comics, I was shocked when it died so suddenly about 1991-92. New Adventures in Hitler NEEDS to be reprinted...it's from that great Dennis Potter phase that Grant Morrison went through...remember that bit when Morrissey appears in Hitler's wardrobe singing "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"?
