The Beezer's The Heroes of Paradise Road by Ron Smith what happened next!!!!...

I've shown the first part before...here is what happened later...

Sept 30th 1961 Beezer

13th Jan 1962 Beezer..

I admit reading this today brought a tear to my eye!!
He's alive!!!!!!!!!!

Just a brilliant war story shown from a perspective of a family.

The Beezer's True Brit what happened next!!!!!

Has you can see later on he looses his British flag logo from jumper and sheild and is replaced with a lightning bolt and his power is not Brit power But Silicon chip power!!! The character didn't last long...shame! 

I won't speculate why the changes happened...I'll leave that to you...

Inside The Beezer 13th Feb 1988 featuring the first Club 5 and The Beezers (Sting the bee!)

A Wham Bar given free...plus two new characters join The Beezer in this issue!

I like True Brit and the Silly Party! Shame it didn't last that long...

Brian Walker does a nice Pop, Dick and Harry. Also a funny story!

Not sure who drew this...I know Steve Bright did later on..

Free gifts means new readers so comic page characters are reintroduced.

Barrie's work is always good fun in this era..Cuddles and Dimples on holiday!

 I bet Barrie loved drawing this! 

 I'm in love with Marina!

John Geering

The pages are lot more focussed on the characters and less detailed backgrounds...not so keen..

 Gordon Bell

Just like Young Sid the page has a small strip on the page..

I like comic characters enjoying the free gift from the comic..

Bob McGrath

Leo Baxendale's Cap'n Hand The Beezer 9th Aug 1958

Leo wasn't the normal artist for this strip even David Law drew a few at the start..George Drysdale drew most of them..

Those polar bears remind me of the bears in Little Plum Leo did...

I love the colouring used!

Every Tuesday's a Public Jollyday! Beezer's great title slogans and drawing

Its fun seeing the black and white tv..




Heres some black humour!!!








Drinka a pinta of milk a day!


Its the Black Sapper!

These are great fun and catchy slogans..

Bob McGrath's DC Thomson comic work through the years.part 2.

Here's Bob McGrath's Miguel the Matador as he appears in the 1965 Beezer Book:
thanks to Phil Rushton
I like how he has a patch on his bottom from the other time the Bull has hit him..:)

At the comicsuk forum there is an unusual thing where this character owned by DC Thomson also appeared in a IPC's 1979 Valiant Annual! see it at the link..

5th Nov 1966 Beano
Bob has done some great title panels...see else where on the blog..I also love the way he frames each panel..looking in different horizons...nothing is flat with Bob..I love the first panel with the food closes to us as they walk away...the great thing about doing a blog on comics is relooking at an artist in more detail...you can take it all for granted..I also like Ted bear rapid movement showing two heads..



Bob had the difficult task in my mind of taking over Dudley D Watkins when he died on Ginger..

I like how Ginger's feet are under the tablecloth in the first panel and animate in the third panel...it gives it just that extra bit of life for the action of falling backwards..its also nice when the Dad talks to the reader...

Will definitly look at Bob's work more...
