Pssst! (styled as pssst!) was a short-lived British comics magazine published by Never–Artpool in 1982. Pssst!, which lasted ten monthly issues, was an attempt to publish a British equivalent of the lavish French bande dessinée magazines.
Bryan Talbot, Glenn Dakin, Shaky Kane, Paul Johnson, Stephen Baskerville, Ed Pinsent, John Watkiss, John Bolton, John Higgins, and Angus McKiewere amongst the many cartoonists published within the pages of pssst!. Early parts of Talbot’s The Adventures of Luther Arkwright were published in the comic.
Talbot feels that pssst! “…was the precursor of Escape and Deadline and the rest of the cascade of British adult comic mags that came out in the Eighties and Nineties.” Critic Russell Willis, on the other hand, wrote of the publication, “It tended towards Heavy Metal tits, ass and girls-with-butterfly-wings style over any lasting substance.”
