Whats your memories of Look-in...

[Peter Gray]

As Lews blog goes Look-in crazy thought it would be fun to chat here as well..

Mine is mostly Dangermouse
who drew that strip..?

[Earl]

The King Kong Move cover
The Six Million Dollar Man
Benny Hill
The Bonic Woman
Charlies Angels

I had had a few issues as the came out in the 70's. My sister collected it in the 80's so I have a good run of these.

Sadly none. 1971 coincided with my abandonment of comics for music magazines and a fourteen year old's dreams of rock band glory.

Oddly enough it was drawn by Arthur Ranson who's much better known for the ultra-realistic style in which he illustrated Sapphire and Steel for the same publication. Both strips were written by Angus Allan incidentally (along with almost everything else in Look-in!).

Yeah, that's my era too, so I'm quite looking forward to the 80s book (and I will pick up the 70s one too at some point). I think there was a Cannon & Ball strip too IIRC.

What would be in Look-In these days had it continued? Primeval? Harry Hill? My Parents are Aliens? Emu? Cripes, I'd probably buy that...!

*slaps forehead* Of course there was! Ran through most of the 1970s...

can't wait for the 80's best of Look-in...
hope there will be more annuals afterwards like Jackie has done..

That 'Madness' episode was in one of the few Look Ins I ever bought (early eighties). Seeing it again I notice it's by Harry North who I mentioned in the Mad magazine thread. He did spoofs for Mad with lots of (slight) caricatures like this.

[Peter Gray]

I only have two issues of Look-in in my collection..
with the brilliant two websites on Look-in....
Lew Stringers blog on Look-in
the best of Look-in books.......80's on the way..

I desire to buy some more......
the telly of the past and the features on programs which are hardly remembered now...with a lot of those programs not recorded or saved..they give a good insight to the program..

Saturday Banana with Bill Oddie only the title sequence and a small bit at the end was saved..
Harry Worth nothing was saved except the titles..
Tiswas not a lot saved etc..

maybe Look-in is are only insight to these programs before they disapear for ever..

[Peter Gray]

TV Tops was originally simply called Tops, if that helps your search on eBay. Only had the first issue. Adam Ant on the cover. Very much a Look-In clone. OK if you're into Eighties pop culture I suppose.

Lew, did issue one of Tops have a free Adam Ant skull and crossbones badge with it? If it did, I had that issue too! Was this the comic with a Hi-de-hi strip?

[Peter Gray]

I'm into eighties culture..

Lew when you have time can you do a bit more detail into Countdown and Tv action like you did with your memories on Look-in...love to see the strips inside and your thoughts..just a future idea..
