And a Happy New Year...

It's New Year week and as you can imagine there's been little time for scanning, so here is something I had in reserve for the end of 1982, it's an abriged version of The Story of the Beatles, which was a strip in Look-in in 1981/82.  Have a great 2020 and see you next year for some more Look-in...
