Happy new year!!!....Dec update...

It's the last update of 2013, and let me wish all of you who visit the blog a very happy and healthy 2014.

It's the December update too, with two fresh issues No.45 from 1973 and No.22 from 1978...see you in 2014!!!...


3rd November 1973 - No.45

Cover: Roger Daltrey by Arnaldo Putzu.

Strips: On the Buses, Settle Down Now! with Ken
Goodwin, The Tomorrow People, The Adventures
of David Cassidy, Les Dawson is Superflop,
Follyfoot, The Fenn Street Gang and
Doctor in Charge.

(N.b. this is a damaged issue, but I have replaced page 1
of Logan's Run with a page from a collection of Logan strips
floating around the net, think Zeg is the compiler so thanks to
him.  I have enlarged the strip to fit in with the bigger scans,
so it isn't 
the best looking scan, if anyone can help me with
a better scan please e-mail me.)

Mike Noble interview...

Thanks to a heads up from Lew Stringer's brilliant Blimey! comic site, I have just seen this interview of Mike Noble on YouTube.  It's only 12:12 long, but is still very much worth a look, it shows drawings Mike did of him and his family when he was young, and shows what an incredibly gifted artist he was even at an early age.
