New, bigger & better scans of the same comic uploaded 6Â¼ years ago!
It was coverless, so fc & bc are from HAG; the ifc is still borrowed from Tigger's old fichescan; and the ibc is now copied from an issue of Planet.
The comic is in poor condition, dirty & stained, with several spine or edge holes that affect some panels.
A freddyfly original production!
