Story Time

[matrix]

'Story Time' is another nice younger reader comic that joined 'Robin' in 1967.

'Dozey dormouse' originated in 'Story Time' and when 'Playhour' and 'Robin' merged it carried on in 'Playhour', did any more make it into 'Robin' or later 'Playhours'?

I thought some might like to see the scans below of 'Super Bear' 'The wonderful teddy from outer space'! Does anyone remember reading it?

Please excuse the scan, as it is on two pages so copied it to make it one page!

Thanks for showing that Matrix. I was familiar with Super Bear from Robin but didn't realize he started out in Story Time. He's an interesting character, not only because of the similarity between his costume and that of Fawcett's Captain Marvel, but also because of his suspicious resemblance to 1980s TV star SuperTed (though I guess that IPC were hardly in a position to sue for breach of copyright in case they found themselves sued in turn by DC Comics!).
