Well, bought 'em, so gotta use 'em. I don't really recall any covers past #s 1-3 (and maybe one or two others), so I'm now wondering if I bought only the first three issues (seen in part one) because of the free gifts and then gave up on it. I had a paper round at the time and only spotted the comic when it first came out because I was in the newsagent's early in the mornings collecting my papers for delivery.
As LITTLE STAR was a nursery comic, it really fell outside my interest as a 13 year-old, but the lure of a new comic with free gifts was always hard to resist for me. I'd even bought the first and early issues of SHOOT, SCORCHER, and SCORE - and I had absolutely zero interest in football. Having said that, there was some nice art in Little Star, by the likes of TOM KERR and BILL RITCHIE.
So let's take a look at another five covers that perfectly capture the wonder and innocence of youth. If only such qualities stayed with as as we grow up, the world would be a much better place.
You needn't be apologetic about the Little Star posts. Not every post has to be about the Hulk smashing through a brick wall.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one can honestly complain about a lack of diversity around here. I don't know any other blog that posts a nursery comic and a photo of Kim Kardashian on the same day. :)
You're right, TC - this blog is unique! (Which doesn't necessarily mean it's good, just unique.)
ReplyDeleteHow much are they worth now ??
