welcome and enjoy!

Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.

QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

FOOTBALL THEME IN BRITISH HUMOUR COMICS TO CELEBRATE EURO 2012 (DAY 6)


Just one football strip today and it is an episode of Scared-Stiff Sam from an early issue of Whoopee! (7th December, 1974). I happen to have both pages of Mike Lacey's original artwork for this set so make sure you scroll down for some close-up scans.

  2. Yes, he's absolutely terrific isn't he? The strips just jump out at you - I don't think I ever flipped through any of his work as a kid.
