Ian Knox Starr's Wars takes the cover of Whizzer and Chips

For a one off Sid's snake isn't on the cover!!
and its no raid...

















A very short lived strip after a front cover promotion...trying to grab the Star Wars film craze.

Chalky is Top of the pops

Terry Bave actually created the character and drew the first ones.
Cor!! 24th July 1971.




Chalky was a very popular character and made it to number 1 in a poll.
It was a great concept drawing a picture which people think is real.
UPDATE Its by Dick Millington.






see what I mean...:)



Gordon Hill did a very lively Chalky..Gordon also drew the Krazy Gang. I will show more of Gordon's comic character work another time.
The cover of course was mostly starred Buster himself.

Reg Parlett said that Chalky was his favourite character...he said this in 1991 so theres a compliment.

Terry the Terror by Reg Parlett Film Fun 1962

1st Sept 1962. Film Fun and Thrills comic.
Terry isn't much of a terror..things just happen by the looks of it.
Always great to see a new Reg Parlett comic character.

John Nichol's Bob on the Beat The Beano Nov 5th 1959

A nice firework theme story. John also drew some other stories in the Beano annuals like Nik O' Lightning 1958.









More animal drawings done...I've tried a more bold colour approach..very pleased with them..

I'm doing the Maltings Farnham Craft fair on Saturday and Woking Flea Market on Sunday. Selling my prints and cards...hope to see you there..

Paddy Brennan's The Amazing Peet from Planet K from Topper

Just like the previous blog posts on Paddy Brennan captured the 1950's this comic page from 1973 captures the era.
Its so wonderfully 1970's...
the clothes, cars, supermarket, the prices of food with 2p off its just magic to look at.
It is always worth another look at a comic page from the past by a top artist and marvel at the details.
Also a fun little odd character.
Its the tongue which sticks in my mind.

Paddy Brennan's Flip McCoy from Topper

You can see the real joy in Flip...who wouldn't with a Hoppicopter..I want one..

Again I just love the period it captures..this is from Topper comic number 17.
30th May 1953.







1960 Topper annual Flip has a new mode of transport..
