A LOOK AT COR STRIPS: VAL'S VANISHING CREAM

Val's Vanishing Cream joined the lineup of COR!! strips thanks to the readers’ vote in the COR-medy choice competition (first series). The pilot episode in which Val found a jar of vanishing cream in the bag of old cosmetics that her Mom asked her to pop in the bin appeared in COR!! issue dated 12th May, 1973  (No. 154). It started as a regular feature in COR!! issue with the cover date of 1st September, 1973 (No. 170) that also reprinted the pilot episode (in mini-format). Val used the vanishing cream to make things and people invisible. Illustrated by Mike Lacey, the strip ran regularly until the last issue of COR!! dated 15th June, 1974 (No. 211) and survived merger with BUSTER where it continued until the end of October, 1976. It made three front cover appearances in COR!! issues dated 1st September 1973, 23rd February 1974 and 27th April, 1974 (Nos. 170, 195 and 204).
