Just checked IPC'S MONSTER FUN [1975-76], and unlike SHIVER and SHAKE of 1973-74, a fair few artists start signing their work here [Robert Nixon, Crocker, Trevor Metcalfe and others].
So it's either on Monster Fun or on WHOOPEE! [1974] which sadly I don't have any copies of, that the IPC stalwarts started to sign their wares---or at least, some of 'em.....
