The second issue of the magazine celebrating creators, titles and characters of the British Platinum, Golden and Silver Ages of comics.
In this issue William A. Ward finally gets some long deserved recognition for his contribution to comics John McCail gets "bigged up" something rotten!
We look at comedian and actor Bob Monkhouse's comic creation career
Steve Dowling -Father of the Garth newspaper strip speaks to Denis Gifford (the ONLY interview he ever gave)
There is a look at Dennis M. Reader and his comics work that spawned some of the UKs first super heroes.
also a look at William Fletcher Thomas, Ernest Wilkinson, Jos Walker, Mary Byfield and William H A Chasemore... oh, and LOTS of lovely art and stripwork!
Loved the Laurel and Hardy strip earlier. Loved At Sea. The oldies are the goodies eh ? Hope you had a good Xmas and talk to you again in the New Year. TTFN.
ReplyDeleteI do things the German way so yesterday was Christmas Eve -Mr Brown popped along and wishes you well!- and that was it. Today is Christmas Day and I have lettering to do....dishes to wash....and then have to cook (we women really suffer). Hope you had a good one!
