*KAZOOP !!: A LOOK AT MONSTER FUN STRIPS: KID KONG see also the later Kid Kong by Rob Lee and his version of an origin!

Kid Kong in Buster was a one pager 17th Jan 1981...thought this page was funny so had to show it..

Then in 21st March 1981 it became two pages with a new origin based on the old...also Gran was brought back to her original self without glasses and hearing aid...which kind of works...

Rob Lee's art is nice to see and has a bit of Robert Nixon style about it..

Now go to the link to see Monster Fun's Kid Kong by the great Robert Nixon at Kazoop...

*KAZOOP !!: A LOOK AT MONSTER FUN STRIPS: KID KONG: As we know from the introductory three-pager, Kid Kong was ‘the biggest gorilla in the World and son of the famous King Kong’. ..

Buster comic-
Launched: 13th December 1975

Nosey Parker should have won the contest!!!

Part of Buster comics big year in 1981 -21 years Birthday.
This was a contest to create a comic character.
The results were shown in Jan 1982.

I don't have the first one
(can anyone tell me the character's name..
or send a JPEG Scan to my email
thejeep2000@yahoo.co.uk)


Later on Steve Bright drew another Wonder baby...Prambo in the mid 80's.




I like Rob Lee's drawings very much.. Robert Nixon and Trevor Metcalfe had a fun slightly similar style as well.

Funny how the character Nosey Parker was used in Whizzer and chips by Barry Glennard
(draws Numbskulls in todays Beano)
Nosey Parker came out in 1982!!



So the runner up Feargal Weatherhead of Tullamore should have won the contest.

Unless the first contest winner in Jan 2nd 1982 Buster comic proves me wrong and that character was also used in a Fleetway comic.

It is interesting anyway..

Gramma corrected thanks to Linda Bodice.
Well I did get a D in English in GCSE..:(
