PART TWO OF PETE'S PICK OF THE POST...


Copyright relevant owner

Another eight back pages of jokes from TV EXPRESS WEEKLY to hopefully give you a chuckle on this dreich Monday morning* in the less-than-merry month of October, Crivvie comics fans.  Supposedly introduced by popular presenter and DJ of the day (with a not always convincing illustrated likeness) PETE MURRAY, the comic was a brave attempt to compete with HULTON PRESS's EAGLE

It never quite rose to those heights, but RON EMBLETON's art (not seen here) was certainly the equal of FRANK HAMPSON's, in my estimation.  Wouldn't it be nice if both periodicals were still on the go today?  Along with TV21 and TV COMIC.

(*Well, it was morning when I composed this post.)

You've been intruding into my mind again ,haven't you, Xavier? Only the other day I was thinking that I'd LOVE to have the chance to start buying all the Eagles and TV 21's now from scratch!
( or did you notice those archive posts getting hits again?)

I wish someone would do bound volumes of TV21 reprints, JP - 10 issues per volume, original size. They'd need to do it before guys our age pop our clogs, otherwise there'll be no one left to be interested in such a project.
