A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: SWOPPER STAN


Swopper Stan was a strip about a kid who swopped everything for anything with all kinds of humorous consequences. It ran from 12th September, 1970 until 14th April, 1973 (Issues 15 – 150) and didn’t miss a single week during the period. The regular illustrator was Mike Lacey.

From COR!! issue dated 14th Novemner, 1970 (No. 24)

From COR!! issue dated 30th December, 1972 (No. 135 - Christmas edition).
Stan does some swopping with other COR!! characters - Micky Madd, Tricky Dicky,
Chalky and Jasper the Grasper

    From 26/5/79, Whoopee published Ivor Swap drawn by John Geering, a retread of Stan's bartering adventures. On 21/7, Spoilsport made an appearance, as did Bored Eddie, Micky Madd and Whacky on 11/8, looking nothing like the originals; Eddie "bore" (ho, ho) the closest resemblance but appeared to have had a perm! Ivor's strips were more sporadic after the Cheeky merger of 1980 but he turned up every so often as part of the Merry-Go-Round feature.
