Had a scan through the topics but can't find a reference to this mini-series. It kind of stood out for me in the same way as Jellymen and Iron Eaters. It featured a mysterious ice cream van that played a tune that hypnotised the kids who heard it. I think the ice creams may have been spiked too. The ice cream man had a striped jacket and boater hat - I'm pretty sure he was called the Twister - and he got the kids to commit crimes. Oh, and his van was a like a tardis - bigger on the inside than on the outside. I was very young and it certainly intrigued me at the time. Quite scary actually. Does anyone know of this or did I dream the whole thing up.
Strikes me as something that would have appeared in Beezer or Buster. Apologies if this is referenced elsewhere.

It's Trail of the Twister, from Buster.

Knowing the name, I was also able to identify the dates:

Amazing - thanks very much. I didn't realise it ran for so long actually.
