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.

I HAVE THE BOOKS!


As was the plan, I picked up the books from the printing house this afternoon and am very satisfied with quality. The printers have now started manufacturing the slipcases which should be ready in 4 weeks' time at the latest.

I will see if I can make a quick video of the books in the next day or two to show here. In the meantime, check out some photos below.

My crowdfunding campaign is still live and will remain active until the time when I receive the slipcases and am ready to fulfill the orders. The IndieGoGo campaign is the only place where you can still pre-order your box set with free artwork prints, or individual books with free artwork prints. Here is the link: THE POWER PACK OF KEN REID

CROWDFUNDING NEWS UPDATE – NEARLY THERE!




The IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to print the official complete collection of Ken Reid’s Odhams work is now 92 per cent backed, and I am hoping for 100 per cent and more by the end of the week – with over three weeks still to go!


Here is the link, if you wish to support the campaign and pre-order your copy of the special edition in a slipcase with free prints of original artwork that will only be available to backers of the crowdfunder: THE POWER PACK OF KEN REID

Time for the second half of Frankie Stein original artwork page from the collection of Julius Howe – thanks again for the images, Julius!


NB: Please, note that this is not the original artwork that will come with the books!

CROWDFUNDING NEWS UPDATE – 75 PER CENT AND COUNTING!




The crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to print the official complete collection of Ken Reid’s Odhams work has been well received by fans. It is already more than 75 per cent backed – and there’s still a month to go! 


Thanks to all who contributed so far, and here’s the link for those who would like to join the fun: THE POWER PACK OF KEN REID


To celebrate this achievement, here are some shots of Ken’s original Frankie Stein artwork – the top half of the page, followed by individual panels of the same. I will save the bottom half for later.


The image was kindly supplied by Julius Howe who owns the page and is one of the backers of the campaign, so special thank you to you, Julius!


NB: Please, note that this is not the original artwork that will come with the books!
