KEN REID'S FINAL FUN-FILLED FROLIC OF FRANKIE STEIN...

Copyright REBELLION

While you're waiting for the last JASPER THE GRASPER strip by KEN REID, here's another last strip by the great man - FRANKIE STEIN.  This was the final Frankie frolic to appear in the pages of WHAM!, in issue #166, cover-dated August 19th 1967.  As we all know, PROFESSOR CUBE's lad was revived in the 1970s under the pen of ROBERT NIXON, but - good as they were - they couldn't quite match the sheer lunacy of Ken's version.

Looking at this page more closely makes me wonder if another hand might also have been involved, as some of the panels (or bits of them) seem slightly different from Ken's usual approach.  Or am I just imagining things?  Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?
