In the Spring of 1974
Rober Nixon was normally drawing 7 pages for COR!!, Shiver & Shake and
Whoopee!, but the week when the comics with the cover date of March 30 1974
came out was special, firstly because he stepped in for Ken Reid contributing
the Creepy Creation, and secondly because the issue of Shiver and Shake included
an 8-page pull-out booklet of Frankie Stein, bringing Robert Nixon’s page count
to 16 pages and making him that week’s champion.
I won’t speculate if
he drew all the pages in the space of a week – I don’t even know if a mere mortal
would be capable of producing this quantity of quality art in such a short
time, but all the pages were printed in the comics of the same week, and that’s
a fact :)
