St Ives wins Striker deal

St Ives Edenbridge has won the deal to print <i>Striker</i>, a standalone colour weekly comic about the football star who has appeared in the <i>Sun</i> for 18 years.

Steve McKenlay, managing director of publisher Striker 3D, said: Weve had an extremely positive reaction to bringing out this. Striker already has the strength of brand, so it will have a 175,000 print run at least.

The first issue of the 32pp comic is due out on 28 August.
