(BOND) BABE Of The DAY - MARGARET NOLAN...

Once again, magnificent MARGARET

NOLAN graces our Babe post, spreading joy,

happiness, awe and adoration in the hearts of us

'mere' men.  (Just throwing the feminists a bone

following my previous post.  After all, you know

how insecure and sensitive they all are.) 

The ISLAND Of BEASTS...

Copyright relevant owner

Again, from the 1968 POW! Annual, a six-page tale entitled The ISLAND Of BEASTS, which sounds like a feminist's idea of a 'men only' holiday resort - but we all know how they resent our obvious physical and intellectual superiority in all things important, so we'll forgive them their bitterness, resentment and envy.

The artwork looks to me to be that of LUIS BERMEJO, who also drew The MISSING LINK/JOHNNY FUTURE in FANTASTIC, and is a superbly talented illustrator, I'm sure you agree.  Anyway, I haven't read this adventure in a few years, so let's re-explore its delights together.

Ready?  Then let's go!

JUST FOR KICKS...

Here's a two-page strip from the POW! Annual for 1968, drawn, I believe, by GRAHAM ALLEN.  In his time, Allen has worked for many comics, such as LION, BUSTER, WHAM!, SMASH!, POW!, WHIZZER & CHIPS, COR!!, TV21, LOOK-IN, SCORE 'N' ROAR, WHOOPEE!, PLUG and TV COMIC - and that's just part of his output over the years.  Truly, one of Britain's greats.
