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.

It's actually quite striking, and very effective. Wish they'd try that on The Beano today. Ken H. Harrison is the modern equivalent of Dudley D. Watkins, so it's a shame they don't feature more of HIS work in the comic nowadays.
ReplyDeleteKen H. Harrison is an excellent artist. The Hoot Squad was the main reason why I wanted to get hold of a complete set of HOOT comic.
DeleteHe's certainly a goodie - loved his version of Minnie The Minx.
DeleteClassy, never seen those before. I like Dennis, Minnie and Plum messing about up there as well - how long were those three on the logo for?
ReplyDeleteOff the top of my head, they changed the logo at some point during 1956, leaving only Dennis on the left-hand side. I can check the issue number tomorrow.
DeleteI wonder if it was a mistake the black and left it in to try it out...
