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.

Could you please diable the lightbox setting so we can view the artwork closer? You can do it by going into settings, posts and comments, then choose no for 'Open Images in Lightbox'. If you do that it will make your images come up much larger when you click them.
ReplyDeleteI would say the artist is indeed Reg Parlett for this one, he was very good at the more detailed non fiction/adventure stuff, adn the monster on the third page definatly looks like him! (Not literally, of course!)
Lightbow setting disabled. I can't see much difference in the size of scans though - they are showing as large as before to me ...
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely Reg.
ReplyDeleteYou have to click on it twice to make it bigger..it has a magnifying glass symbol when you first click on image..click again makes it bigger..click again it makes it smaller..
ReplyDelete..so glad you've changed the setting..lightbox only works for small images...
It is Reg Parlett..and it is a reprint..

Boy's world or something like that..
As Peter says they are all reprints of a series called 'Did You Know?' that Reg Parlett drew for Odhams' Boys' World from 26th January 1963 to 3rd October 1964. Apparently the majority of them were scripted by well-known Fantasy author Michael Moorcock.
