Oh, your luck's in, Criv-ites! Here are five - count 'em, five - panting pages of KEN REID's barmy strip, FRANKIE STEIN, from one of Britain's finest comics of the '60s - WHAM! Who else gives you such value for money ('specially as you don't pay any) in this day and age? I'm unsure if I've posted any of these classics already ('cos I'm too lazy to check), but it doesn't much matter as they're always worth another look regardless of whether you've seen them before. Surely that's a sentiment with which you'd all agree?
So don't hang about - fling yourselves right into these masterpieces, from a time when comics were funny and well-drawn - not something that can be claimed for many of the mediocre 'magazines' of today!

And below is the cover of a super book that you may be able to track down on eBay. It contains every strip that Ken Reid drew for Wham! - including JASPER The GRASPER. That reminds me - I once created a character-name clearly inspired by Jasper, called THATCHER The SNATCHER. This was a few years before anyone had heard of a certain Prime Minister with the same surname.
