THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART FOUR

Here is the next batch of SPARKY covers with Peter, Penny and the Moonsters by Bill Ritchie, Nos. 60 – 69 from 1966!

THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART THREE

Time for ten more early Sparky covers with the Moonsters. The first and the last ones in this post are interesting: the first one (No. 50) because it celebrates the New Year, while the last one (No. 59) because Bill Ritchie later re-drew it as the cover of Sparky Book 1968 (see my old post HERE).

THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART TWO

Here’s the second batch of THE MOONSTERS covers of SPARKY comic. There are ninety of them left, so that’s nine more posts to keep me busy and you guys entertained! This gallery includes as  many as two special issues - Firework and X-mas 1965!

SPARKY MOONSTERS COVERS - PART ONE

Rather than doing the series of guest appearances at Scream Inn in one go, I though it would be more fun to add some variety and start a concurrent gallery of those bright and busy SPARKY Moonsters covers by Bill Ritchie. 

By way of intro, here is the back page of SPARKY No. 1 with The Moonsters advert:

… and the back page of SPARKY No. 2 with the premiere of the strip, explaining how the two main characters found themselves on the Moon and met the funny native folk:

Here are the first five Moonsters covers after the strip was moved from the back page to the front and marked the beginning of the spectacular run of 105 covers:

Come back soon for the second guest appearance at Scream Inn. In fact, it was guest appearance of Scream Inn in a strip from a sister title that made a guest appearance in Shiver and Shake. Am I making sense here? :)
