BABE Of The DAY - GLORIA HENDRY...

She didn't look so muscular in

the movie LIVE & LET DIE (even if

she does in the above publicity still) so trust

me, she is a babe -and GLORIA HENDRY

is still a fine looking woman today.  Call me,

Gloria... call me.  (No, I didn't say call me

Gloria - I said call me, Gloria!  What's

the matter with you lot?!)

WHIZZER & CHIPS #1 - PART ONE...

Images copyright relevant owner

I remember seeing WHIZZER & CHIPS upcoming launch advertised in a centre-spread insert in SMASH! in 1969, and being instantly fascinated by HARRY'S HAUNTED HOUSE.  On the day of release, I was up around 7a.m. and across like a rocket to the newsagent's over the road from me, eager to immerse myself in this new comics experience.  W&C survived in weekly form for just over 21 years before being merged with BUSTER, and I for one was sorry to see it go.  I bought a copy of the last issue in the same shop that I had purchased the first, even though I no longer lived in the area.

Y'know, sometimes I think that any point in my past life is as near to me as 'over the road' was then, but it's a short-lived feeling that soon dissipates when I realise that all my yesterdays are quite a bit farther removed than that.  Anyway, that's enough melancholy introspection - enjoy the 'Whizzer' section for the moment, and we'll be back before you know it with its companion paper 'Chips'.  (Were you a Whizz-kid or a Chip-ite?  Don't be shy now. )
