:: Cheers that IS very interesting!

This originally surprised me as everyone has said MegaZone used to be MegaComp so a mystery issue 1 with no P on the end was not expected. I doubted the NLA but this article you found proves that there was indeed this mystery MegaCom without a P. Which site is right about the order in which this change happens remains to be seen haha but I'd say surely NLA would be most likely accurate as they logged it by looking at the covers. I'm getting lots of responses to my call for help across all social media sites and many forums however sadly no Canberra people who can drop by the NLA for us!
