Re: Whoopee No.3 Free Gift - 'Spooky Snap Cards'
I researched Whoopee! a few years ago. Assuming my notes are correct and I haven‘t missed anything, the first Frankie Stein by Brian Walker was in the issue of 9th October, 1976. Walker contributed 2 more sets of FS in 1976, two sets in 1977, none in 1978, two in 1979, none in 1980 and 1981, one in ...

Fun Fear in the issue of Jan 15th 1977 is definitely by Nixon although he didn't sign it for some reason.

Re: Whoopee No.3 Free Gift - 'Spooky Snap Cards'
‘orrible Hole, Creepy Car, Fun-Fear and Evil Eye started off as weekly strips early in the run of Whoopee! and became part of the Ghostly Go Round feature starting from the first issue of 1979. The feature rotated the four strips carousel-style week by week. They all ended at approx. the same time: ...

Re: Whoopee No.3 Free Gift - 'Spooky Snap Cards'
‘Orrible Hole began in Whoopee! cover-dated January 18, 1975 (the first issue of the year because there was a break due to industrial action), appeared regularly throughout 1975 and 1976 and the first half of 1977, then became less frequent. It continued to pop up during 1978 and 1979 (as part of th...

Re: Bash Street Kids Serial
Bash Street Kids had two long tours – they went on a World Tour in 1967 (Nos. 1302 – 1320, cover dates July 1st – Nov. 4th) and then a round-Britain-marathon-walk in 1968 (Nos. 1347 – 1368, cover dates May 11th - October 5th).

Re: Younger reader comics (the best of the rest)
I found a few examples of titles that haven’t appeared on this thread yet. I won’t be able to contribute much in terms of discussion because, having picked them in the process of collecting Playhour, I know next to nothing about them. Wonderland, launched in 1961, was published by Education Press Lt...

Re: Swearing in the Beano!?
I've read somewhere that there used to be an inside directive prohibiting the use of certain innocent words in comics because they could look scandalous when printed. An example can be found in an early episode of When the Bell Rings from the Beano which I’ve shown in my recent blogpost here: http:/...

Re: KAZOOP!! blog news
In my last two posts I compare the original episodes of Ken Reid’s Jonah in the Beano with reprints in Buddy 20+ years later, and in the most recent post I have also included a few panels of Ken’s original Jonah artwork. One doesn’t get to see Ken’s original DC Thomson artwork very often, and you ca...
