Look-in games...

I had a message from Alan a few weeks back, asking about two games that were given with the 18th January 1975 issue.  Well, having put the feelers out Dan has come back with this page about the games.  As mentioned, there were two games, the first one was an On The Ball soccer game, which looks similar to a game you could buy around that time, and the other was a music game called the Top 100 game.  They were played by the use of a contraption called the Letteromic random number selector, another example of a really cheap free gift that Look-in seemed to be famous for.

Also here is a pullout teaser for the Mark strong Strip which was given in the 29th July 1972 issue, again courtesy of Dan.

Look-in One Pagers - Set 19...

Here are the next set of One Pagers.  Included this time are Olivia Newton John as Sandy from Grease and a great late period shot of The Sweet.  Animal fans are catered for this week with Dan Haggerty and Bozo, who played Ben the bear in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams and lovely Toddy who played Timmy in Enid Blyton's Famous Five.  You'll notice that Toddy's poster has a mini feature, Look-in went through a period of incorporating posters into the features, which is why the Hot Chocolate and Child posters also have text on them.

Timeslip - The Whole Story...Stories 7 and 8...

A little late but I've been out all day, and finished day by watching the superb Spectre, which I recommend to you all, it's so good.  Anyway, here are the next two parts of the Timeslip saga...

Story 7 - The British Agent

Story: Angus P. Allan

Art: Unknown

Story 8 - The Mystery of Springheel Jack

Story: Angus P. Allan

Art: Unknown

here we are at the start of a packed weekend. Two more off the conveyor belt, we have No.36 from 1978 and also No.49 from 1980.  The 1980 issue has the first in a new story for Charlie's Angels, it's in B/W, although it is in the first colour strip position, this is because in the next issue, Buck Rogers is moved to the colour position, so the publishers probably thought it best to start the Angels strip in B/W if it was to continue that way. This is also the last 1980 issue for now, on to 1981 next update.  Both issues are mine and complete.

Join me tomorrow, for next part of Timeslip - The Whole Story, and there'll be more One Pagers on Monday.
