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.

A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: CHIP


Chip was another reprint strip in COR!! about a mischievous naughty little kid desperate to have some fun in his life. The feature was drawn by Graham Allen and originally appeared under the name of Kicks in POW! some five years prior. COR!! reprints started in the issue with the cover date of 15th April, 1972 (No. 98). A total of 22 episodes of the original series were reprinted with some long intervals, the last one appearing in the issue of 15th September, 1973 (No. 172)

From COR!! issue dated 14th July, 1973 (No. 163)
