Why this object matters
The original Devlin Waugh debut combines Smith and Phillips’s distinctive character introduction with the Megazine’s fortnightly relaunch. The retained attached badge preserves the launch as sold. Its contribution to queer representation and this complete promotional state justify Gold at 9.2; it is not the title’s 1990 first issue.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
