Island of Monsters The Dandy 1969 A very creepy strip!!


Nov 29th 1969


 Dec 6th 1969

The insects really creep me out..plus that bats teeth..as a comic collector I'm trying to get the whole series so thanks Paul Rose for buying some Dandy's and Beano's at such a kind deal..

.of course amazing work by Paddy Brennan! Every frame different...figures are brilliantly done...

Lovely work on these stories. I wonder how many times the 'giant animals' idea was used in the comics?

This strip totally freaked me out first time around, Peter! The very first episode features an unforgettable image of a native pulling a dead giant beetle on a vine------it really set the horrific tone! Here, I find the giant caterpillar more repulsive than the giant bat, for some reason---fantastic, if terrifying, strip, though----and Paddy's skill is just as good as Dudley Watkins in my view. SPY
