It's from the Story "All Treens Must Die!", Issue Vol 15 No 36 (5 September 1964) of Eagle, artist Keith Watson.

Brilliant knowledge thanks so much. Do you think this is the original art or an editor's proof or something of that kind? You can see the tipex marks and the speech balloons pasted in.

Hi all, someone I know has got this piece of original artwork. Sadly we don't know much more about it and would love to know more. Doing some research it's potentially by Frank Hampson, but would love to know more? There is also an inscription saying vol 15/36/2 which can't be a date, but not sure w...

Who are the ones saluting at the bottom of Krazy?

They are from an obscure strip called Goon Platoon. They might well have been just in the annual, rather than a staple from the comics.

These look like fun. Thanks for posting. I might get myself an oink t-shirt. I dont think any of the models on that page were alive when any of these comics were running (except maybe the last couple years of Buster) :D To be honest I was only alive for the last few years of Buster too!

Hey everyone, over the last few months I've been working alongside Rebellion to create a brand new range of shirts celebrating the classic comics of IPC Fleetway!

Along with comics I've got a love for old advertising signs too and this ticked both boxes. Did any other comics advertise in this way? Sadly the ...

An all time great! He produced some of the best illustrations and strips to ever grace British comics. My personal favourites being the large Banana Bunch pages in the Beezer.

I couldn't see the page on that link. I think I'll just go ahead and buy it on eBay.

I have got a really nice piece of artwork of XRay Specs by Mike Lacey. On the back it says that it appeared in the Monster Fun/Buster summer special 1988. I was wondering whether anyone had this issue and could confirm, before I buy a copy. The artwork is a story involving archaeologists and the fin...

Yeah, if I was on the programme I would try and get as many of them as I could.

Bought 55 odd Phoenix comics for 10 p each. Great buy as I haven't read a single Phoenix yet.

Thanks for all the replies. I will put together a final list sometime next week.

I was hoping for strips rather than characters themselves. I recognise that most of the public would only know a handful. But I think it would surprise some to see some people voting for their favourite childhood character that they particularly remember. When I ask my Dad about his favourite charac...
