The Latest On Wacky

Post by George Shiers »

Just thought I'd do a bit more advertising and update this post every now and then when I post something.

My latest post shows Ken Reid's last ever Faceache strip from a 1987 issue of Buster! I'm also currently writing a post about an early Whoopee comic that went on sale this week in 1974.

All this and more to come! :D

I've just posted a look at the 1951 issue of Sun Comic that went on sale this week 62 years ago! I covered a bit of the history in there too. Enjoy!

Yesterday I posted the cover proof for Monster Fun, which was never used and was instead changed to the version we all know. See it here:

Yep - it was a buy it now on ebay. Alan Clark (the editor of The Sloperian) was selling it - he is always selling a lot of comics. Here's a link to his ebay page:
