I think I was a little disappointed in finding the trick spoon as the free gift; the other 3 three gifts looked much more interesting.

I loved the early issues of most comics but that faded as the look became over familiar. I'm still puzzled that the strangely-named Whizzer and Chips survived its terribly bland late 70's. I can't even remember noticing it on the stands until I became a collector in my early teens, like its dullness rendered it invisible to me. And did ANYONE ever want to pull them apart anyway?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-23858275662594425242013-01-15T10:02:49.271+00:002013-01-15T10:02:49.271+00:00Yes!!

Them and Whoopee.<br />I like the way Reg Parlett did a lot of those "horror" strips. His style is so buoyant and affable he seems like the last person you'd call for that job, but somehow it worked beautifully. I guess you do need a strong injection of chuckle-faced merriment to reinforce the fun factor and keep the kids from getting nightmares.<br />Can't wait to see your next few posts. Cheers.BFShttp://bumperfunspecial.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-79511067153789185132013-01-06T12:58:50.849+00:002013-01-06T12:58:50.849+00:00I got this wrong But all of Sweeny Toddlers maybe ...I got this wrong But all of Sweeny Toddlers maybe some ghost artists were drawn by Leo Baxendale and not by Tom Paterson..Nigel P confirmed it for me when I did a blog post on it...<br />just search for Sweeny Toddler..Peter Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932925408386855040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-11222157404837232372013-01-06T11:57:19.260+00:002013-01-06T11:57:19.260+00:00Smashing, looking forward to this lot.

Live & Let Die was being shown in my local Cinema around the same time, and I went to see it a few days after S&S came out.<br /><br />I also remember buying the second issue, and the fun which came from hunting around the shops one Saturday with a friend so that he could get his own 'Spooky Screamer' (I've still got one, but it came from another IPC comic a good many years later.) When he eventually got one, we ran around a local graveyard, him blowing his screamer to his heart's content.<br /><br />In a way, at the age of just 14, I was reliving my childhood. British Marvel had just released MWOM at the end of the previous year, and I was re-reading stories I had first read as a 7 year old - now Frankie Stein and Grimly Feendish had also returned. What a magical time, and one I remember with great fondness.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
