CRIKEY! PART SEVEN Of The MISSING LINK...

Copyright REBELLION

Oh, lookee here - a whole four pages of The MISSING LINK, drawn by the amazing LUIS BERMEJO and published in FANTASTIC #7 way back in 1967.  Obviously I must've read these titanic tales in a previous life, because I surely can't be old enough to have seen them in my present incarnation.  ('Scuse me, it's time for my reality pill.)  Wouldn't it be great to see these classic stories reproduced in full-colour in an inexpensive, hard-covered volume?  Hopefully, by featuring these strips on this blog, I can help create an appetite for such a publication.

Fingers crossed, everybody.  (Update: And as we now know, REBELLION's TREASURY Of BRITISH COMICS arm published just such a book, though in the original black and white.)

FOR FAWKES' SAKE...

Remember, remember - er, wait just a second, I've forgotten.  No, hang on - I've remembered again.  Tonight is November 5th, GUY FAWKES' NIGHT - BONFIRE NIGHT - GIVE PENSIONERS AND PETS A HEART ATTACK NIGHT - whatever you want to call it.  For all those participating in the firework festivities, here's a cut-out Guy Fawkes mask from a 1997 issue of BUSTER.  I think this was printed in the insides of the comic just about every year, and may even hark back to my own childhood - it certainly looks familiar.  (Although, back then, it would've been a cardboard free gift - with its own elastic - tucked inside the comic.) 

Anyway, take care if you're having a firework display or attending a local bonfire - fingers and skin are handy things to have, so take appropriate steps to ensure that you or your kids aren't parted from them.  REMEMBER THE FIREWORKS CODE!
