My heart used to sink when a favourite comic said FANTASTIC NEWS INSIDE! as it always meant it was going to join up with Buster and its title would disappear off the cover completely after a few months.
You're so right!Used to absolutely hate reading that.
Do you recognize the style of this guy, Ken Reid - a real hero of mine:
As well as illistrating Frankie Stein, Faceache and Martha's Monster Makeup, Reid also produced one page ‘fillers’ for Shiver and Shake’s Creepy Creations in 1973. Whoopee’s Wanted Posters in 1974 and the original WWW in the shape of his World Wide Wierdies. These were usually based on suggestions from the readers who received a cash prize for their suggestions.
His artwork seemed so bizarre to me as a kid. If I had the free cash I'd love an original piece of his art.
