The 27th October episode of Footage Detectives had an item on Harold Hare's Own Paper, and some storyboards for the film Zulu, which isn't comics but Zulu does seem to be of interest to many here.

The last entry on this Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_D ... rnal_links will let you access a list of Megazine supplements.

The current Radio Times says Rewind's coming to Freeview on Wednesday 18th September, on channel 95.

Am pleased to hear that "Z Cars" will soon be coming to TPTV. Let's hope they repeat all the surviving monochrome and colour episodes from 1962 -1978.

Great news. They showed as much as there is of Dixon, so presumably they'll do the same with Z-Cars.

Everybody seems to be thinking of old-fashioned weekly anthology comics, like the ones we read when we were young. By that measure we're down to The Phoenix, 2000AD, The Beano, and possibly The Megazine and Commando. However, if one looks at the broad field of comics Britain continues to produce gre...

A film to watch out for on TPTV is Penny And The Pownall Case. It's based around a comic strip, obviously inspired by Jane and drawn by George Davies https://www.lambiek.net/artists/d/davies_george.htm It's about the glamorous model for a comic strip who helps the police. Not a great film, but worth...

Re "Space Patrol was wiped" -- according to what somebody wrote on Wik
ipedia "For many years it was believed that all but a handful of episodes had been destroyed, until a complete cache of 16 mm prints was discovered in the garage of Roberta Leigh's home. "

Thanks anyway, but you're wrong. I tracked down the strip, which was called The Wonderful Worlds Of The Woz. It ran in issues 492 to 501, March to May 1969. I have managed to reread it, and was just ss surreal and funny as I remembered.

Sunday 9th June episode of Footage Detectives saw them waxing lyrical over Wham!, thecomic that is. It's on season 2, episode 126, which should be viewable at https://www.tptvencore.co.uk/Playlist/F ... ceb1083fb0

Those wanting to know who wrote and drew the Charlton stories can see the credits for the magazine at https://www.comics.org/series/2209/ and for the comic book at https://www.comics.org/series/2208/. You need to click on each issue number to get that issue's credits.

I loved Elongated Man.

My favourite Infantino work was on Detective Chimp, back in the fifties, which I saw some of reprinted in British Superboy annuals. There's a collection due in November.

I read this lovely story about Alan Class a few years back.I'm not sure where I read it or would provide a link. Basically Alan and his wife were walking down a street when Alan saw a comic book shop. They both went in. Alan asked the chap whether "Alan Class Comics" were something ever asked for,e...

There was a period when Charlton covers often had cover blurbs for competitions, blurbs which weren't there on overseas reprints, so showing more of the cover image. For example https://www.comics.org/issue/172176/ and https://www.comics.org/issue/333007/#1478390
