SPARKY MOONSTERS COVERS - PART ONE




Rather than doing the series of guest appearances at Scream Inn in one go, I though it would be more fun to add some variety and start a concurrent gallery of those bright and busy SPARKY Moonsters covers by Bill Ritchie. 

By way of intro, here is the back page of SPARKY No. 1 with The Moonsters advert:




… and the back page of SPARKY No. 2 with the premiere of the strip, explaining how the two main characters found themselves on the Moon and met the funny native folk:




Here are the first five Moonsters covers after the strip was moved from the back page to the front and marked the beginning of the spectacular run of 105 covers:








Come back soon for the second guest appearance at Scream Inn. In fact, it was guest appearance of Scream Inn in a strip from a sister title that made a guest appearance in Shiver and Shake. Am I making sense here? :)

  1. Ah, happy days. Takes me right back. It's a shame there are no comics like Sparky around any more. (With the exception of The Beano of course.) Thanks Irmy.
