Afraid not although I have kept him in mind, found a couple more of his cartoons, in Titbits I think.

I came across my copies of Once Upon a Time a few weeks ago and noticed some superb Ron Embleton art.

Went to Kempton Park Antiques Fair today and picked up the following from one stall:
Comet 459 4.5.1957, 482 12.10.1957, 496 18.1.1958, 502 1.3.1958, 503 8.3.1958, 504 15.3.1958.
Sun 473 1.3.1958, 474 8.3.1958
Young Marvelman 129 4.2.1956
My Favourite 78 20.7.1929
£14 the lot.

I'll be indexing ...

You refer to a Dinky comic, do you mean an advert in the comic for the Dinky model? It's not clear from your message.

Doctor Who documentary "Doctor Who: The Doctors" is on Rewind TV at 8pm this evening.

I used to have quite a few issues of Princess and Princess Tina, they had a varied content including some nice classic serials, I remember Lorna Doone drawn/painted by Ron Embleton. Nice photogravure pages and deep colours.

Looks like a fanzine strip. BEM?

No the TV Terrors was nothing like Titcombe's work. Also TV Terrors was never signed and Bill usually signed his work.

Thanks. I have a collection of TV comic and always wondered who drew Basil Brush as well as the TV Terrors. I'll let the person know what you discovered.

Could be Bill Titcombe who used that fine line style, perhaps drawing in a nursery comic style. He was a Polystyle Publications regular.

I have been emailed this page of original art but cannot identify the artist. It may have appeared in one of Morecambe and Wise's fun books. There is a pencilled note correcting the spelling of Morecambe's surname.

Yes Ian Chisholm must have been in his 60s when I met him in mid 1970s. They rarely connected with fans but I suspect my Scottish surname Mitchell might have helped as Dundee has the biggest concentration of Mitchells in Britain.

I have a newspaper article about Phil Clark and his comic selling in a Birmingham newspaper from the 1970s. It's in my storage unit so locating it will be difficult as there are dozens of crates and boxes filled with comic stuff.

Just seen online that next month Rewind TV is to show the 1995 Doctor Who documentary
"The Doctors: 30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond". They will also show a spin off Doctor Who show "Cyberon" which I've never heard of. I think its a single film not a series.

It was alanultron5 but he hasn't posted on here since March 2023.
