The Competition 4...Target...

Another in our occasional series showing what else was available out there to give Look-in a run for it's money.  In 78 Polystyle released Target, named after the hard hitting TV show starring Patrick Mower, the show was the comic's lead strip and gave an idea what Look-in could be like if they were to add post watershed series to it's array of strips.

The main problem for me was some of the artwork in the comic, the one exception was Hazell drawn by our own Harry North.  Target also had a Charlie's Angels strip - before it appeared in Look-in,  unsigned, it was some of the worst artwork i'd seen in  an action comic.

Also odd were the American series, as they used very British language some of the time, as well as the Angels both Kojak and Cannon appeared too.  But this was also a problem with American Look-in strips too, but there were obvious restrictions on some of the language, so acceptable I suppose.

The comic was a sister paper to TV Comic, who's strips were more lightweight and it was absorbed into TV Comic after only 19 issues.

Here is the full issue for you to read...
