The Flying Floogle of Frogmorton |
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 POWER PACK OF KEN REID! - Year End & X'mas promotion
The prints measure 297 x 190 mm, so they are smaller than those that came with the books during the crowdfunding campaign. They fit perfectly inside the books so won't have to be folded when packed.
Don’t miss the limited time offer! It applies to all sales on eBay and my e-shop HERE.

FIREWORK COVER - BIG ONE
THE BIG ONE was a Fleetway comic that lived up to its name and championed in terms of size. Its short run of 19 weeks (from 17 October 1964 till 20 February 1965) included GRAND FIREWORK NUMBER. Collectors will know THE BIG ONE is quite difficult to come by, so there's a good chance you haven't seen this explosive front cover before. Enjoy!
