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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!




With the New Year just a few hours away, I will end this string of Holiday Season posts with my personal favourite Shiver and Shake annual cover. It serves as a nice intro to the series about Shiver and Shake comic that I hope to do in 2013.  By happy coincidence, the year marks the 40th anniversary since the comic first appeared.  

Happy New Year everyone!

    40 years? But I remember buying the first issue like it was only yesterday (almost). Hell's bells - where did my life go?

    Happy New Year to you.

    Happy new year to you too! Can't wait to read about Shiver and Shake (there's something in a strip in issue 64 that is very intresting! See if you can spot it)!

    Meant to say, Irmantas, after seeing this Annual on your blog, I tracked down a copy for myself not too long after. That's an absolutely amazing cover.
