The Umbrella men have arrived........Lew! I like seeing the early 60's of the Bash Street kids. David sure drew a lot of detail......don't see detail so much these days. Its fun searching the panels!
wulf of the arrow has finished so I wonder what the next adventure story will be added next time.....hopefully 'The flood of London' by David Sutherland.........or G for Giant.......
Love to see some 40/50's comic work. Like Pansy Potter in wonderland. D.C Thomson have all there comics so it should be easy to do. Also Jimmy's magic patch....Tom Thumb...Danny long legs..
Also are we allowed to know if the next annual in the series will be the 70's?

But why can't they do just one issue of their adventure comics?!

One issue of the regular Classics From the Comics you mean? Possibly because they think it might damage sales too much. A dozen of us here might like it but the thousands of people who buy Classics expect to see mostly humour material. That's my guess anyway.
Also... the adventure stuff was mostly serialised so choosing samples for one issue might confuse readers.
Several years ago DCT did an Adventure reprint book (like their annual Dandy/Beano compilations). They never did another, so presumably sales were lower than expected. That doesn't bode well for a monthly version.

Loved the pirates stip (can't remember its name off-hand)- a completely new one on me.
Anyone know if this was the way they were actually introduced in the original comics run or have Classics skipped the introductory pre-amble rather like Krazy's Buytonic Boy everytime his comic "merged" with another?
a jet-powered galleon. superb

Collections of adventure strips? I would love to see Whizzers from Ozz collected in a graphic novel format. Steve

Yes Peter. Both 'Smasher' and 'Country Cuzzins' were the work of Hugh Morren.Peter Gray wrote:In this months issue.....there is Country Cuzzens.....it looks like the smasher artist....?.....this was a strip which got dropped for Billy Whizz...

Interesting Peter,
I wonder... if it's a surprise and hasn't appeared in Classics before I wonder if they are going to venture into one of the 'adventure' titles and give us some 'Tough Of The Track' or 'Wilson' or something... ?
I'd love to see a monthly 'Classics' alongside the one we have now that ran an anthology of a number of Victor, Hotspur, Buddy, Spike, Hornet, Wizard, Champ, Warlord etc strips as well... wouldn't that be cool?

great idea Spencer.........
on another note Dennis the Menace and Gnasher is drawn by an artist I've not seen.........it must be at the time when David Law was too ill to draw and they were finding a new artist before David Sutherland took over........its on page 7
