PART FOUR OF DON STARR IN "THE LIVING DOLLS"...

Right, hands up all those who've been following TERRIFIC's DON STARR in The LIVING DOLLS? Not enough of you it seems, as no one noticed a little boo-boo that inadvertently slipped in. Yup, your genial host managed to miss out a couple of episodes, so obviously I wasn't paying too much attention either. Anyway, I've gone back and fixed things, so check out previous instalments and be sure to read each part in its proper sequence, then devour the up-to-date offerings in this post. Are you enjoying the strip so far? Then why not say so in the comments section? (It's always nice to feel appreciated.) See you all next time, Criv-ite chums.

Anonymous said...: Gaaaaahh... Not only I missed that, now I noticed that there are no "tags" to each post, so I 'll have to search page after page for a consecutive depictment of the Living Dolls story...

Kid said...: Worry ye not, Pan. Simply type 'The Living Dolls' into the Blogger search box and it should take you to all four parts in sequence.

And I'd tried to be so careful, JP. I must have got distracted for a moment. Never mind - after all this time, I'm sure there worth yet another read.; 7 July 2014 at 00:15
John Pitt said...: Don't worry about it, Kidda. I'm just grateful that you're scanning them for us, let alone cleaning them up!
For what it's worth sometimes my downloaded pages go in in the wrong order anyway!; 8 July 2014 at 13:12
Kid said...: I'm not doing too much cleaning up this time around, JP. Just the bare minimum, like whitening the pages and removing really bad printing blotches, but not the smaller ones. Glad you appreciate my efforts 'though - ta.; 8 July 2014 at 13:54
Piney Layne said...: I never saw the end of this way back then. In Australia we mainly got British comics then and l always wondered why nearly all the stories were set in New York. Ah, the magic of b&w reprints.; 27 February 2020 at 09:26
Kid said...: Which reminds me, I don't think I've shown the remaining Don Starr strips from Terrific, so I'll need to dig them out of a cupboard and resume scanning.; 27 February 2020 at 10:39

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
