This is actually the magazine New Statesman before it was rebranded.
I started trying to count how many straps that geezer is wearing, but I had to give up.

I think he’s hoping the straps will distract attention from the purple and pink tights. He wrong.

Good spot on the purple tights!
He also seems to be carrying two pretty large ‘personal’ computers. Combat could never be easy carrying those around.

The gayest hero in the galaxy! First he will defeat evil alien beings bent on conquest. Then he’s going clubbing. Old Compton Street, look out.

‘Hope Hubris’. Ah, it’s a fine line between ‘hope’ and ‘hubris’, is it not. And also between ‘good cover’ and ‘terrible terrible crappy cover.’
