PART TWO OF A SUPER-SMASHING EASTER TO ALL CRIV-ITES...

Copyright REBELLION

As promised, here's the second part of our Easter post, wherein are presented pages which reflect the time of year from SMASH! #61, cover-dated April 1st 1967.

In case you're wondering, SMASH!'s DANGER MOUSE came first, long before the TV cartoon of the same name which saw such success sometime in the '80s.  The issue from which these pages come had more strips than I've shown in this post and its predecessor, but not all of them had an Easter theme, whether they were British characters, or DC and MARVEL reprints.

Well, that's your lot!  Be sure to drop in again for the best of U.K. and U.S. comics, in this, the brightest, biggest and best blog in Britain!  (As voted by my pals when I bought them all a pizza in exchange for their 'unsolicited testimonials'.)

    McScotty, I believe Ken Reid took over the Nervs in 1968 so, yes, this was before then. Did he do anything below amazing during this time? If so, I've yet to see it. Glad you're enjoying the posts.
