Disclose Notes: page is split between an ad for upcoming Lightning comic, The Death of Bloodfire, and a Skybolt Toyz ad for the Hellina action figure.

This ad mentions 'A' & 'B' "AIDS Awareness Edition" variants for The Death of Bloodfire (Lightning, 1997 series), which come poly-bagged with a condom (the world's first comic poly-bagged with a condom) and were limited to 5,000 copies each. Part of the proceeds from sales of these variants was intended to be donated to AIDS research. Bloodfire was the world's first HIV positive superhero. This comic book may not have been produced.

Skybolt Toyz produced the 1997 Hellina action figure in a regular edition (5 per case; FEB971176), mystery chase (1 per case; case = FEB971178), and platinum variant (limited to 5,000; FEB971177).
