THE WEDDING THAT NEVER WAS - (OR THREE FOR A TENNER)...

Copyright D.C. THOMSON & Co., Ltd

Way back in the dim and distant 1970s, THE SUNDAY POST's long-running BROONS strip featured a continuing storyline built around MAGGIE's engagement and upcoming wedding to DAVE McKAY.  It ran from 1977 into '79 - and was then suddenly dropped, with no reference made to it ever again. Until now, that is.  Four brand-new strips have been commissioned for this hardbound 2013 oversized Annual to wrap up the plot-threads left dangling from this hastily abandoned storyline and give it a satisfactory conclusion once and for all.  See for yourself what happened next.  Art by TOM LAVERY (with a couple of OOR WULLIE strips by the legendary DUDLEY D. WATKINS.)


The BROONS AND OOR WULLIE book, plus the other two featured here, come to nearly £34 at cover price, but I got all three for a tenner.  You could, too, if you're quick enough, as WH SMITH's have a 3 for £10 offer on all annuals at the moment.  So don't delay - get down to your nearest Smith's as soon as possible while they've still got some left.

I haven't seen that Panto Time book in any shops yet, which is a bit worrying, as it's the only thing I've told my dad about when he asked me if I wanted anything for Xmas...

I think it sold out relatively quickly, THB. (Especially once it had been reduced.) I got the last one in my local WH Smith's.
