The FABULOUS FANTASTIC FOOM COVER GALLERY OMNIBUS EDITION...

Strike while the iron is hot, so they say, which is good advice. So, having  taken two years to work through all 22 issues of FOOM magazine and some of the contents, I thought it would make for easier reference to the covers to publish them all in a single post.  Also included is the famous poster by STERANKO, which you'll find at the foot of the page.

Should you want to read some of the articles (in case you missed them first time around, or have forgotten them), they can be accessed by clicking on the links to earlier posts, which appear periodically in the 'You might also like:' facility beneath this post.  (Or at least it used to - don't know what's happened to it.)













































Update: Below is the front cover to a FOOM one-shot published in 2017.  The back cover was just an ad, so I haven't bothered including it.

The COMPLETE DENNIS The MENACE BOOK COVER GALLERY - PART FIVE...

Believe it or not (though there's no reason why you shouldn't), the first DENNIS The MENACE book came out in 1955 (for '56) and the last one in 2010 (for '11) - and I've got them all!  That's not quite so impressive as it sounds though, as it only came out every two years up until 1977 (for '78), whereupon it took a holiday until 1982 when the '83 edition was issued.  After the ones for '85 and '87, it finally became an Annual, being published yearly right up until the the final edition - 39 books in all.  That means I only have six more to show you, which you'll see in the next and final instalment in this series.

Just think - a period of 55 years covered in a mere six posts.  It hardly seems possible, but it's true nonetheless.  Whoever it was that said time flies sure wasn't kidding, eh?
