Hi, I don't think this ever existed and is probably confused with the Summer Special in 1982. Rationale - as a Marvel UK completist I don't have this (which is unusual as bought everything that came out from 1972 to 1990!). There is no cover scan to help verify its existence. It does not appear in ______. It is listed in Comics org but again no cover scan or details. Also nothing comes up for it on ebay. So, I think this is a ghost publication unless anyone can advise differently!

man, wasted way too much time on this.
series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/blakes-7/sjtto . CPG lists 3 specials, but no pics. From my searches, it appears there's only 2 specials both done in 1982 and 2 from 1995. You and CPG can check these sites and see:
http://www.tonystrading.co.uk/galleries/comics/blakes7monthly.htm . scroll down and they have pics of the usual summer special, and the 1982 winter special, which may be what's confusing things .after that they show two 2 1995 specials.
another site says "In 1982 Marvel UK released two Blake's 7 seasonal specials to tie in with their Blake's 7 comic" so that would be just the specials noted, summer and winter.
a readcomicsonline site shows the indicia for the summer special (couldn't copy the image) and it says 1982, not 1981.
so my conclusion is that there is no 1981 special, only the summer and winter 1982s. The winter special says 1982 on the cover.
and after scrolling the thru summer issue, it's all about the TV show, and has no comics material in it, so doesn't qualify for CPG standards, so likely grandfathered in a long time ago, so the specials could be removed. then I checked the regular monthly title, and it appears it also does not have anything but some comic strip material, the rest is all pics/interviews/articles about the TV, so seems to me the whole series shouldn't be listed anyway. up to CPG tho.
