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.

GUEST APPEARANCES AT SCREAM INN - CREEPY CREATION




The third and the last guest appearance during the Shiver and Shake run of Scream Inn can be found in issue No. 73 (August 24, 1974), and on that occasion the visitor was a Creepy Creation. I covered the Creepy Creations feature in detail when I reviewed SHIVER AND SHAKE comic a couple of years ago. You can find the article HERE.




Here is that week’s Creepy Creation from the back page of SHIVER AND SHAKE, drawn by the usual artist Ken Reid (as if you didn’t know…):


All three guest appearances at Scream Inn in SHIVER AND SHAKE have now been accounted for. My detailed review of Scream Inn in SHIVER AND SHAKE comic can be found in another article under SHIVER AND SHAKE umbrella HERE.


I will start looking at the WHOOPEE! run in a week or so, and the first guest will be a very unusual one indeed!

    I wonder if 'young Robby Sampson' received £1 for the use of his creation? At least he got his name in print.

      Did you receive yours for The Goggle-Eyed Goon of Gloucester ? :)

      Sure did, Irmy. £1 postal order arrived several days before the issue went on sale, with a letter telling me my creation was in it. I felt like a millionaire. (But you can never find one when you need one. Ho ho - little joke there. I should be in comics.)
