A couple of things to mention about the 1981 issue this week, inside you may notice the Adam poster is in two pieces, this is because the poster was reversed in the issue and the Green Cross Code ad was actually the middle pages, for purposes of presenting the issue as it would have been seen, when you would have originally read through it, I've just put it in like that, but fear not, the full Adam poster is at the end of the file. Secondly, mentioned within the issue is an Adam Ant picture strip 'coming soon', this was another strip that never happened, A similar styled 'swashbuckling' Adam strip 'The Fantastic Adventures of Adam Ant' featured later on in TOPS, later TV TOPS, so maybe they had bought the rights from under Look-in's nose, but it was one of those things that went to print too late to do anything about. here is a page of the TOPS strip...
If you want to see more of this strip, Michael's Mag-a-Zone site has a few issues of TOPS/TV TOPS. Anyway, onward to the issues, We have the 1973 Holiday Special, Just the one strip, an adventure with David Cassidy, but still plenty more good reading. Also, the aforementioned 1981 No.43, also there is a bonus, a recently purchased 1975 No.16 in strip only form...enjoy...
