Slightly more unusual for the mask to be visibly going through his ear.

Also an at-a-glance guide to girls' comics I couldn't seem to make work somehow, but definitely want to pick up again at some point...
Bunty D. C. Thomson, 1958 - 2001. Primarily aimed at working-class readers. Most famous for The Four Marys, a strip about four girls called Mary who attend a public boarding school, who were ever-present throughout the comic’s run. Outlasted all other British girls’ comics by showing a greater ability to move with the times. The last five issues were published on a monthly schedule; Christmas annuals continued to be published until 2008. Jinty Fleetway, 1974 - 1981. Featured science-fiction stories. Merged into Tammy. Christmas annuals continued to be published until 1985. Mandy & Judy D. C. Thomson, 1991 - 1997. Formed from the mergers of the separate Mandy and Judy. Ultimately merged into Bunty; Mandy annuals would continue to be published until 2006. Misty Fleetway, 1978 - 1980. Featured horror stories, and was accordingly far more popular with boys than any other title here. Merged into Tammy. Made a huge impact despite its short run; Christmas annuals continued to be published until 1985. Nikki D. C. Thomson, 1985 - 1989; the last new girls’ comic to be launched by D. C. Merged into Bunty upon its closure. Best known for The Comp, a serialised story set in a co-ed school.

(Also I just really like that the new Asterix is being advertised in the Beano.)
