If you think that then you’re most likely British, male, middle-aged and wrong.
Just because you enjoyed them, and why not, they were great, doesn’t mean millions of other people never even heard of them. Seeing as they weren’t published in the US and would have been up against hundreds of other mass-produced comics every month that had been running for around 40 years beforehand.
Besides, Deadline folded, as did nearly every other early 90s UK comic and even the Megazine was mostly reprints for years.
Nobody is saying you can’t like them, but they were not “huge”.
