Ali Ha-Ha and the 40 Thieves by Ken Reid from THE DANDY with today’s date in 1961:
Back page of the last issue of THE TOPPER comic for 1961. The calendar isn’t reusable for 2022 but still very cool 😊
Front cover of the Firework number of THE TOPPER in 1955, plus an assortment of appropriately-themed panels from the strips inside:
Sweeny and the 3 Bears fairy tale in full colour on the front cover and one inside page of WHIZZER AND CHIPS in 1987. 30+ years down the line, Tom Paterson is still as good as ever!
My new blogpost covers the rest of The Spooktacular 7 (ex-Scream Inn) strip by Brian Walker in WHOOPEE! weekly comics from the ‘70s: https://t.co/7qZyBgLxWF
Front covers of a few British comics, all for 13th August, 1966. I wish I had copies of THE BEEZER, THE DANDY and THE TOPPER for those dates in my collection, but I don’t ☹
Here’s another example of Leo Baxendale getting naughty and redrawing an episode of The Bash Street Kids (originally from BEANO BOOK 1960) as The Tiddlers in WHAM! comic (from a rival publisher) some five years later:
Front covers of PLAYHOUR and HAROLD HARE’S OWN PAPER – two young children’s comics, both with today’s date in 1960. They have lots of beautiful art by Hugh McNeill, Peter Woolcock, Philip Mendoza, Gordon Hutchings, Fred White and others.
