Presenting the final five pages which complete your issue of BUSTER & The BIG ONE from 1965. Often, seeing the ads in comics can be as much of a time-travel experience as the strips themselves, carrying us back to childhood faster than the wink of an eye. I have to admit, I was largely unaware of Buster's existence at this time, being fully captivated by TV CENTURY 21. To me, the 'definitive' Buster came a couple of years or so later, when FISHBOY started. Along with CHARLIE PEACE (and Buster himself), that's the comic I remember from my innocent youth.
Hopefully, this three-part series has stirred up warm reminiscences of your days as a schoolboy in the dim and distant days of the 1960s. Which, paradoxically, seem as fresh and alive as the morning dew and the caress of a gentle breeze on one's skin.
