KEN REID'S JASPER The GRASPER - PART THREE...

Copyright REBELLION

We're now at the halfway mark with our JASPER The GRASPER fun-fest from WHAM! comic.  This particular episode is from issue #44, cover-dated April 17th 1965, and once again ably demonstrates just what a master of cartoon art the late KEN REID was.  Grown up readers of the '50s probably regard Ken's finest hour as JONAH, those who grow up in the '60s likely think of it as being FRANKIE STEIN, and kids of the '70s and '80s doubtless look back and consider it as FACEACHE, but all are agreed that Ken Reid was an artistic genius.

Be sure to tune in for Part Four.

PART TWO Of CAPTAIN BRITAIN COVER GALLERY...

Poor ol' BRIAN BRADDOCK!  Two attempts at a titled-mag devoted to his alter-ego CAPTAIN BRITAIN, and both of them fail.  No wonder he got fed up and went and joined EXCALIBUR; that way, he wouldn't shoulder all the blame if that mag failed too.  The first volume lasted 10 years, but the downside is that Cap couldn't claim all the credit for its success, having to share it with former X-MEN members and various other mutants.  No luck, eh, Cap?!

Anyway, here are the remaining 7 covers of Cap's 1985 14 issue run.  'Twas a good little mag and should've survived for much longer.  I wonder what he's doing with himself these days?
