Looking for Specky Hector's History of Comics

I am trying to find "Specky Hector's History of Comics", which appeared in Buster 1990 and probably 1991. I have the first two, which appeared 1 September and 6 October 1990. Does anyone have the others, please? Many thanks for any help.

Specky was of course the alter ego of that renowned comics historian Mr. Lew Stringer. Unfortunately I don't have any Busters from so late in the run but I'd really like to see that series reprinted somewhere. However some time ago I
did stumble across this intriguing booklet by his fellow comicologist Alan Clark which had been given away in Buster a few years earlier.

Yes, I thought I saw a tiny small signature of Lew's on the art! Paging Lew, paging Mr Lew...

I think I did six or seven in total. When I have time this weekend I'll dig them out and post them on my blog. Thanks for reminding me I'd done those!

Thank you so much, Mr Stringer! It's nice to hear I've done you a bit of a service too!

Thanks Tammyfan. No need to be so formal by the way.

I haven't had time yet but I'll sort them out sometime.
