That issue being Issue 11 of Manga Mania.
For reasons not explained in the issue this was coverdated June 1994, meaning it had taken at least 2 months to come out. The indicia indicate Dark Horse UK were still the publishers, but I don’t believe that was actually the case, and the new publishers would be clearer in the next issue.
