REVEILLE Fun Section

Post by stevezodiac »

Reveille was a tabloid newspaper published weekly with showbiz, sport and true life stories. I used to buy it as it had lots of nice page three girls in it. Somehow Denis Gifford managed to persuade them to include a fun section like the Sunday Post. Like the post version it would be cut out and folded to form a four page Beano sized comic. Here are the front and back pages of issue 1 (the inside was all text) plus the cover of issue 2. It only lasted about a dozen issues - I have twelve so presume i got them all. Terry Wakefiled was the son of the artist who drew Laurel and hardy in Film Fun - can't remember his first name - aargh!

on the back page Spot the Changes is drawn by Clew. Sally looks like Earl as in the top strip but I am probably wrong there.

I think the Morcambe & Wise strips were later collected in an album btw.
