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 7)


Regular readers might remember the little series of self-portraits of those tireless but often anonymous and uncredited toilers of UK comics – the artists, that I did a year ago. You can view all the old posts HERE. I’ve found a few more cute examples in the course of 2013 and will show them in the next few posts before I switch to the Festive theme.

Let’s start with two nice examples featuring Tom Paterson, one from Buster cover-dated 2nd November, 1985:



…and one from The Beano No. 2356 from 1987:

 



More will follow soon.
