*Amazingly, they handled the tricky "fifth colour" special printing process perfectly.

Used by AP extremely infrequently because it was expensive and no one liked us, it was a smashing effect, though one we messed up.

Examining another magazine with a metallic silver front cover logo (this being the idea for AP42's Super Stardust exclusive) we found the silver could be scraped away to reveal the page beneath.

Excitedly, we realised we could place a really long secret message under the metallic silver, and it wouldn't be found for years. (Or at least only swiftly by readers with unusually poor coordination.)

For some reason - no one's quite sure what - we didn't do it.

We occasionally kick ourselves still.
