Always on the 'Look-out'...

As you know, I trawl the internet looking for snippets from our favourite mag, and I am lucky to find full issues every now and again.  I was browsing on:
http://cosmobells2.wordpress.com/
a general entertainment blog and found this page about Look-in:
http://cosmobells2.wordpress.com/2010/07/10/look-in-26-september-1981/
on this page is a link to a photobucket page containing all the pages from a Look-in dated 26th September 1981 - No.40.
Unfortunately the site hasn't been updated in a while, and commments are disabled, so I have no way of asking permission to insert the issue into my collection, so I have taken a small liberty and made a cover/strips only copy of the issue, click the picture below to get that and if you want to read the full issue, use the links above.  By the way if ecofugal (the owner) would like anything removed, if he could let me know.

The mid-month update...

Welcome back to the mid-month update, but something a bit different.  Not long before the main site went defunct, I introduced a feature called 'The Whole Story', in which visitors could read full uninterupted stories, rather than have to go from issue to issue to find strips they liked, well, here it is again.  I'm starting with three stories that are already on the site, but you can now read them in .zip form using CDisplay, but don't worry I will upload newer ones you haven't seen in coming months.  Click the pictures to download, hope you enjoy them.

moment and can't always be accessed, if you can get

there you can read all of the Space:1999 strips right now.

Story 1 - The Evil Painting

 

Got this via 'Scanarama', a Yahoo! group I am in

which spacialises in scanning old comics for posterity.

I think Zeg did this so thanks to him.

Arnaldo Putzu 1927 - 2012...

Just been to Arthur Ranson's site http://www.arthurranson.com/, which I haven't visited for a bit, and noticed a post about Arnaldo Putzu who died on September 1st last year.  I'm surprised that I never noticed anything mentioned in the news about a man who was so iconic in the cinema world.  Who can forget his 'Carry On' and British film posters, and of course the covers of one much loved magazine, RIP Arnaldo.

Coming Soon 6...

On October 20th 1979, well before the series aired in the UK, Look-in introduced a Battlestar Galactica strip on the strength of the sucess of the movie.  Here is how it was bigged up in the issue before...

As usual you can download a bigger image by clicking the picture.
