Viz Magazine March 2012 (1434) Issue 213 The Bacons Roger Mellie Big Vern

Original Viz Magazine, Issue 213, dated March 2012.

This issue features Viz’s familiar mix of adult comic strips, spoof news, celebrity parody, recurring characters, fake advertisements and deliberately crude British humour.

The main cover feature is “Twist and Clout! With The Bacons”, illustrated with a large cartoon confrontation involving the Bacon family. The cover also promotes a parody feature connected with Top Gear and a spoof “four-letter rant” involving Jeremy Clarkson.

Prominent characters and features advertised on the cover include:

• The Bacons
• Roger Mellie
• Mrs Brady
• Gilbert Ratchet
• Student Grant
• Big Vern
• Drunken Bakers
• The Parkie
• Jack Black
• Major Misunderstanding
• Royal Yacht satire
• Celebrity shoplifting parody
• Spoof Top Gear feature
• Recurring Viz letters, jokes and fake advertisements

The magazine is clearly marked Not For Sale To Children and is intended for adult readers of British satirical comics and irreverent humour.

Condition:
Pre-owned magazine in well-used condition, with noticeable reading, handling and storage wear.

The front cover remains colourful and readable, with the masthead, issue number, date and main cover features clearly visible. There is general surface rubbing, light scratching, handling marks and mild print wear across the illustrated cover.

The spine shows pronounced rubbing, compression, white stress marks and several small creases. The lower-left spine area has visible wear and slight fraying, while the upper-left corner is softened and mildly curled.

The bottom edge displays noticeable shelf wear, rubbing, small bends and some page-edge unevenness. Several internal page edges are visible beneath the cover along the bottom and right-hand sides, suggesting the magazine has been read and stored under pressure.

The lower-right corner has a clear crease and slight curling. The upper edge also shows waviness and minor bending, and the magazine does not lie completely flat.

Only the front cover has been supplied for inspection, so the completeness and exact condition of the internal pages cannot be fully confirmed. Please examine the supplied photograph carefully for the precise cosmetic condition.
