Reboot...1979 No.30...

This issue had printing problems, which has left a lot of the B&W pages badly affected.  They are readable but if you can supply me with better scans of this issue, that would be great.  It is possible that a large run of this issue (if not every copy) is in the same state though.  This issue again has no second colour strip, there was a 'Music at the Movies' feature in that position.

It's mine and it's complete, however.

21st July 1979 - No.30

Error and Reboot...1979 No.27...

Ken wrote to tell me that the Tomorrow People story from the 1977 Annual has an error, the last two pages should be joined so they read across the two pages.  Thanks to Ken for pointing this out, and you can get an updated version with the joined pages added....it's HERE...

...and now to today's reboot, No.27, it's from me and complete.  (n.b. no second colour strip in this issue, for a few weeks before Sapphire and Steel started, Look-in alternated between having features and double page colour Smurf strips on these pages, this week had a tennis feature).

Robin Williams 1951 -2014...

Robin Williams 1951 - 2014

Sad to hear too about the death of someone who joined the Look-in journey in 1980, when the series 'Mork and Mindy' joined Look-in as a strip, drawn by then resident comedy artist Bill Titcombe.

Robin Williams was a brilliant comedy actor, but he could turn in some amazing straight performances too, if you can watch the end of Bicentennial Man without a tear you are hard hearted..!!

Perhaps his best remembered performance though, is as Mrs Doubtfire, for me, that one is hard to beat.

RIP Robin.

Reboot...1979 No.25...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am missing No.24, so we continue with No.25, which is mine and complete.

If anyone has No.24, it would be great if you could send me the Dick Turpin strip, which would give me the full run of the strip...if you want to scan the full issue that would be good too...!!!
