The very first time when characters from another strip
showed up at Scream Inn was in Shiver
and Shake issue No. 37 (17th November, 1973). That week the guests were Treacle
and Brimstone from the excellent albeit short-lived Wizards Anonymous feature
from the “Shake” section of the paper. I covered the strip in detail HERE, and
even showed both pages of the episode, but I want this to be a complete series
so I will show them again.
The first guest appearance was quite disastrous for Innkeeper and Co. because the potty sorcerers outsmarted the hosts and walked home with one million pounds. This, however, wasn’t the end for Innkeeper who made his own guest appearance in the pages of Wizards Anonymous in the very same issue, outfoxed Treacle and Brimstone and got his dough back. Here’s the complete story from Shiver and Shake issue No. 37 (17th November, 1973), drawn by Brian Walker, written (I suppose) by the usual writer, Brian Walker’s neighbour and mate Cliff Brown. Excellent stuff!

Every time you post more pages of this strip, I wonder why I wasn't more 'in to it' at the time. Or maybe I was and have just forgotten. Regardless, looking forward to further instalments.
