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.

A TREASURE TALE OF PRINCESS MARIGOLD, THE WIZARD’S BLACK MAGIC – PART ONE



Two posts ago I mentioned how I love stories in which characters have the power to control colours. A Treasure Tale of Princess Marigold - The Wizard’s Black Magic which ran on the back page in issues 62 – 71 (21st March - 23rd May, 1964) of TREASURE magazine for young readers is a brilliant example of that. Illustrated by Nadir Quinto, the 10-page tale features a villain who is delighted to be able to make everything loose colour but Prince Rupert and three little pixies save the day. Nadir Quinto was an excellent artist, wasn’t he?

Here are the first five episodes, the rest will follow soon. Click to enlarge and enjoy!
