| Whizzer and Chips, 1969. Art by Mike Lacey. |
If you've followed this blog for years, or have browsed old posts in the sidebar, you may have seen these covers before but I thought I'd post them in one post this year for November 5th. Various firework-themed covers from the past, in the days when such a thing was an accepted norm for British comics. (Note: All covers are scanned from the physical comics in my collection.)

I like the artwork on Buster's Dream World... it has a European look to it. I managed to get some Buster comics in a charity shop recently (five for £1!) and that artwork was what drew me to them.
ReplyDeleteThe Tiddlers are fun too. I'd like to see a collection of them!
What a great compilation. Thanks Lew.
ReplyDeleteNadal was Spanish, Kevin, so that accounts for the European look.
ReplyDeleteI think a collection of Tiddlers strips would be great too, but I don't think such a book is on the horizon yet. One day maybe!
