These luxurious hardback books reprint all the pages that Ken Reid did for Odhams in the 1960s; Frankie Stein, Jasper the Grasper, Queen of the Seas, Dare-A-Day Davy, and his stint on The Nervs. The peak of Ken's artistic and creative excellence, and the funniest comics you'll ever read.
The strips originally appeared in Wham!, Smash!, and Pow! between 1964 to 1969 and the books have excellent print quality and reproduction.
If you haven't already bought them, Irmantas now has a new special incentive for new readers! Free A4 prints of Ken Reid's original artwork!

If you needed any more incentive, here's a few snapshots of the contents so you can see the high quality for yourselves...
I'll happily second that these are high-quality books, case-bound and well printed. Also, Irmantas is a very friendly and efficient chap, with the books arriving promptly and very safely packaged. Ken Reid, it hardly needs to be said, was a genius: both an excellent draughtsman and a hilarious story teller. His full-throttle application to "The Nervs", when he took over the feature in "Smash!" had this reader in tucks, even if it did earn Reid the reproach of his original publishers all those years ago. I can't recommend this highly enough.

ReplyDeleteThanks for another plug, Lew, and thank you both for your kind words :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. The books deserve as much publicity as possible, Irmantas. Thanks for the prints!
