*KAZOOP !!: Sparky

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.

THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART TWELVE

Here comes the twelfth and final part of SPARKY Moonsters covers gallery that I started back in May earlier this year. The final appearance of The Moonsters on the front cover of SPARKY was in issue No. 139 (Sept 16th, 1967).

Starting from issue 140, The Moonsters were given the back cover again, ousted from the front page by what is now perceived as the politically incorrect version of Sparky the character. Check out front and back covers of SPARKY issue No. 140:

The Moonsters continued to feature on the back page of the comic until issue 199:

THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART TEN

Here’s the 10th installment of SPARKY Moonsters front covers gallery. I still think they were the best :)

Off-topic: in case you are curious (or annoyed) about the disappearance of the list of my favorite sites and blogs that used to show in the column on the right-hand side – I have no idea why this happened, or how to restore the list. I’ve read on the web that other people are experiencing the problem too, and that Blogger engineers are working to fix it, so I hope the list starts showing up again soon :)
