Thank you very much, Raven! I was baffled for 35 years.

I was able to put a name to one I'd been puzzled about myself from Whizzer and Chips for some time, tonight, Andy - the 1971 strip Alfie in Africa's artist - after coming across a panel where the signature got through: SPADARI, so, presumably, César Spadari:

True. The Buster reprints, however missed out a huge chunk of story’s though, as I recall from memory roughly c.40 episodes only, though this is a very rough figure. For all the episodes you'll need all the 73 Monster Fun issues – well worth it though as many of the original humour story's were reprinted throughout the '80s including Mummy's Boy reprints; X-Ray specs reprints (which afterwards reverted to new updated story's); Plus the Buster and Monster Fun holiday specials; plus annuals to 1986. Plus many other comic strips.Raven wrote:It lasted for the whole run of Monster Fun.Tammyfan wrote: March of the Mighty Ones was in Buster. Or was it a reprint from Monster Fun?
I noticed that Lew has recently posted an article on March of the Mighty ones illustrator Ron Turner's – http://lewstringer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/ ... -1997.html

Mike White illustrated March of the Mighty Ones. (Unless there's a Ron Turner instalment in one of the annuals or specials that you're thinking of.)Muffy wrote: I noticed that Lew has recently posted an article on March of the Mighty ones illustrator Ron Turner's – http://lewstringer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/ ... -1997.html

I did a detailed article about March of the Might Ones on my blog a few months ago as part of my effort to cover every strip in Monster Fun Comic. You can check it out here: http://kazoop.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-lo ... ch-of.html
