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.

looking forward to Graham's Fiends and Neighbours review..
ReplyDeleteI am taking it one step at a time. Fiends and Neighbours are a couple of weeks or so away from now :)
ReplyDeleteThe trouble with this strip was that the premise ‘bore’ (get it?) too close a resemblance to that of Eddie, although Graham Allen’s artwork as ever can’t be faulted. Rereading it in the British Library today, I recognized Wanda straightaway from reprints in an annual I had in my distant youth, but can’t recall which! A few EBay purchases should answer this, but if you’ve got the answer to hand I’d like to have it.
ReplyDeleteStephen, I am afraid I can't help with info on the Annual where the reprints were, sorry.
DeleteIt was Jackpot Annual 1980, no less than six strips. The happy memories that flooded back as I read it yesterday!
