The Whole Story - Follyfoot Story 28 (Updated), also story 29 and Annual 72 strip...

I've finally sorted what's happening with the last few Follyfoot stories.  Story 28 last month was missing the last part, I've got that from Dan now and an updated version of this story is now available, Story 29 is a standalone, one issue story, not sure of the artist but looks like one of those annual artists.  Then there is also the strip from the 1972 annual.  Next month we will complete the series with the strips from the Follyfoot special and the Follyfoot file of features and extra stuff,  I'm contemplating Six Million Dollar Man as the next Whole Story series, I would need bits from Dan for that too, let me know if there's something you'd like to see...see you tomorrow for issues...

Two nice issues here from my collection, No.18 from 1973, which has a feature introducing us to The Tomorrow People, which began on TV that week, one of my favourite programmes at the time, it does not really stand up to great scrutiny now, it's still fun to watch though.  Also there is No.24 from 1981, and another great series - CHiPs, begins a picture strip in this one.  Thanks to Dan for the Williams poster/feature in the 1973 issue...
