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.

A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: SPOTTER



Spotter was a strip that enjoyed quite a long run of 6 years in COR!! annuals 1979 – 1984, one episode in each. The main character’s favourite pastime was spotting. He liked plane-spotting, train-spotting, car-spotting, bird-spotting, dog-spotting, bus-spotting, favourite soccer stars-spotting, etc. Illustrated by Tom Williams.

  1. Ah, so Tom Williams is his name! Seen those big-mouthed characters hundreds of times over the years, nice to know who did them all.
