      • FT335:16 The final line in 'Child-killing Carthaginians' should read "...before or soon after birth."

      • FT335:62 Rather than asterisks, Leah Moore's review should have read "Watching a newly elected Tory government crush the power to protest in both industry and politics, 2000AD gave them a place to vent their dissatisfaction under the cover of a genre deemed fantastical and a medium dismissed as juvenile."
