On checking the indicia to Unicorn Isle issue 2 I notice that it was published by Apple even though the 'new publisher' message appears in issue 3.

My Apple collection is now at 8 issues.

above is the updated checklist:  correlated from Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Comics  

and checked using www.comicbookdb.com, mycomicshop.com,  and Mile High inventory lists

Apple Press seems to have been a sub-imprint used near the end of the company to publish some TPBs and specials

added a few missing titles


My collected books are highlighted in red in the above list bringing me to 

103  issues



also according to wikipedia there is a sub-imprint of "adult" comics called Forbidden Fruit, will research this more later.

Forbidden Fruit

  • The Adventures Of Misty (11 issues, 1991 - 1992)
  • Aviatrix (3 issues, January to May 1992)
  • Metallica (3 issues, December 1991 - April 1992)
  • Moonchild (3 issues, January 1992 - November 1992)
  • Scorchy (1 issue, April 1992)
  • Sexy Superspy (7 issues, November 1990 to August 1991)
  • Sindy (5 issues, 1991)

Earl.
 




according to the wiki:  "In 1986, Richard Pini turned over all of WaRP's publishing and marketing duties to Apple so that WaRP could concentrate on editing comics"

I have compiled the above checklist using which comics say Apple on the cover, as I dont have all the issues to look in the indicia.
