Another Irish comic from the 90s. This is Fitz, Issue 1, from April, 1995. Looking like and sounding like Viz, it contained 28 pages with just 2 pages of Ads.

Hi. I think i contributed a carton to that mag. Perhaps the first issue. It was two dung beetles talking at a bar. Strange thing is, I met the owner/publisher and he appeared not to have any idea of what material was funny. He asked me to sift through a lot of it to vet it. Fitz didn’t last long.

No sign of those dung beetles in Issue 1 Kevin. You’re right, Fitz didn’t last long. But your illustrations live on …. great stuff over on http://www.mcsherry.ie

Perhaps it was issue 2. I know it was an early one and it was only a small single panel cartoon rather than a strip. I think I got paid £15. There was also a strip cartoon called Apple Macker…I can’t recall who came up with that one. Thanks for the compliment though. I listened to you on the wireless on Monday and logged in to see the site. Well done.

I remember looking through a copy in a newsagents circa 1997-ish. It was awful shite I thought, a really poor attempt Viz ripoff.

Can’t bate Viz ! They’ve tried and failed in the UK too.
