Brian Walker poster..

Robert Nixon could also draw horror...in his own fun style..

 Now for some more Ken Reid gems thanks to john M again for these scans...

Tom Williams comic work..

Whizzer and Chips 12th February 1977






Whoopee! Summer Special 1979
The Bumpkins were always really well written and its amazing how many ideas they got out of this concept. Tom drew also in Whoopee! comic the Bumpkins But is mostly drawn by Mike Lacey.




Shiver and Shake 29th September 1973.
Of course the name comes from Coronation Street. I never liked the medicine mans masks..still don't like face masks today.


Tom signed the cover..thats rare for him.




Monster Fun 30th August 1975
What was clever the kids were even more of a horror than the monster!
Its one of those strips which I found unsettling as a kid But also couldn't stop reading it either. I read it in Buster and Monster Fun summer specials in the 80's.
Its being the one eye ball and all those tentacles..a very creepy strip.I also found Freaky Farm, Terror Tv were in this vain. It was from another world which of course Ken Reids work was as well!


Whizzer and Chips 1973 shown in Shiver and Shake as a one off..
A great idea as I don't have many early Whizzer and Chips I havn't read many..though Tiny Tycoon must of replaced this..which did last a long time.

Tom also drew many Beano and Dandy comic libraries including Roger the Dodger, Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Lord Snooty, Gnasher and Gnipper, Winker Watson, The Burrd, Desperate Dan and groups of fun folk.

From Kashgar-

You are quite correct in your assumption that there were only 79 issues of Shiver and Shake published and that none were published for the four weeks in July 1974. This was due to strike action by certain printers that IPC were using at the time and also affected other titles they published like Buster while others, like Tiger, which were printed web-offset by another firm remained unaffected.
As well as the numbering of Ken Reid's Creepy Creations feature somewhat giving the game away another big clue is to be found in the final issue published before the strike, dated 29th June, in which it states that the adventure strip 'The Menace of the Alpha Man' drawn by Eric Bradbury will reach it's final instalment in the next issue and, lo and behold, that final instalment appears in the issue dated Aug 3rd.

So there was only 79 issues and none in July 1974....thanks Kashgar...the blog will be updated...
