52 ● March 2nd, 1974 ● Werewolf + This week's extra guest: Timothy
Tester from Whizzer and Chips makes a guest appearance at Scream Inn (2 pages).
This was quite a special issue because it had as many as four
pages of Scream Inn – the regular 2-pager in the Shiver section and a 2-page set of Timothy Tester (guest-strip from Whizzer and Chips) in Shake. The latter set is of particular
interest because the regular artist of Timothy Tester was Cliff Brown who
was also the writer of Scream Inn. Thus, the set is a
combined effort with Cliff Brown not only writing the script but also doing
some of the artwork together with Brian Walker. Here is the first page of the
set:

ReplyDeleteThe Timothy Tester one deserves a post all on its own love to read more..I love it when two artists get together to draw different bits of the story...or drawing in there style..
The tramp one had great details of old objects like the organ and the old fashioned bath...really adds to the strip...what a great strip this was by brian...lots of care and effort..
ReplyDelete...and it only got better and better later into its run.
DeleteWere you aware of the existence of this? Well you are now!
