Reboot...1982 No.30...

Her they are! it's Haircut 100 in their very own strip.  This was a strange one, Arthur Ranson's almost photo realistic artwork, mixed with humour just didn't gel with me.  This first strip had the band who, with the greatest respect were a bit odd looking, looking like they had just stepped out of a Disney cartoon and in walks a girl who looks as if she found her way to the page via a Sapphire and Steel strip, strange indeed...this is mine, and unfortunately Worzel has took the knock again, Pg1 damaged, some good competitions lately obviously...

Reboot...1982 No.13...

Danger Mouse steps into the fray, he'd already done a few issues before this one, drawn by Arthur Ranson, who I found it hard to believe had done this, having seen spectacular realism in strips like Sapphire and Steel, but in a conversation with him not so long back, he said being given DM was a big surprise but he enjoyed drawing DM a lot.  He was actually no stranger to humour as he also did 'Settle Down Now! with Ken Goodwin' and 'Potty Time'.

Anyone who wants to read my 'Natter with Arthur Ranson' can...HERE.

By the way this issue is mine and complete...
