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.

ARTIST SELF-PORTRAITS (PART 3)



In 1990 and 1991 Buster ran a Meet the ArtistS series where the then Buster artists drew themselves and provided some details about their lives and artistic careers. To the best of my knowledge, the series covered a total of twelve artists, here are the first four. Others will follow soon:

  1. Never seen these before, very nice! Seemes like a MASSIVE contrast to DC Thomson, who wouldn't let their artists sign their work (let alone talk about themselves for a page).

    Looking forward to the rest of them.

  2. I never imagined Mike Lacey to look like that!

  3. I've only ever seen Terry Bave in photographs, but his caricature reminds me more of a young Bob Paynter than Terry himself.
