welcome and enjoy!

Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.

QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

ANOTHER HELPING OF LAWSON WOOD ART



I am a bit of a WWII buff and since it is exactly 71 years ago since the jolly Red Army seized my city from the Nazis and had a three-day orgy burning it down, drinking themselves silly, etc., here are two nice WWII-themed covers by Lawson Wood. They are quite interesting in the sense that to the best of my knowledge he didn’t do a lot of political cartooning.

    Never heard of him (that I recall) before your previous post. Lovely stuff.

      He is easily one of the best in his league.

    The colouring and 3D feel does make it look very strange and unreal...a bit creepy looking...
    But still great to see..
