BABE Of The DAY - COTE DE PABLO...

"I don't think much of this

new toilet design," thinks COTE

DE PABLO - "There's no hole in

the seat or any plumbing to flush it

all away."  Not that it matters as she's

forgotten to drop her kecks anyway.

Wash 'em out as soon as you can,

 luv, before they turn crispy.

KLASSIC KOMIC KOVERS - FANTASTIC #54

Image copyright MARVEL COMICS

This was the third merged issue of FANTASTIC & TERRIFIC, and the reason it stands out in my memory is because I remember seeing it lying on a newsagent's counter in the local shopping area of the neighbourhood next to mine.  I don't think I bought it then, but acquired it later, probably in a bunch of Fantastics that a friend gave to me.

Whenever I look at this cover today, I'm back in that dingy, old-fashioned newsagent's where I bought many a comic in the days of my youth, way back in the swinging '60s.  I visit there often, but only in memory, alas.  What memories, if any, does this particular cover summon forth for you?  Reveal all in the comments section.

KLASSIC KOMIC KOVERS - STAR WARS WEEKLY #1

Copyright relevant owner

STAR WARS - the comic that saved MARVEL.  Not the British edition you see above, but the American one.  Apparently, Marvel's fortunes were on the wane and if it hadn't been for them acquiring the rights to GEORGE LUCAS's space fantasy epic,  they may not have been around for DISNEY to acquire a few years back.

Funny how these things work out, eh?  The Marvel U.K. weekly didn't have quite the impact as the U.S. monthly, but I think we can safely assume that it did okay for itself.  The Force was with it!

BABE Of The DAY - CINDY CRAWFORD...

Okay, you've had more than

enough time to comment on my art,

so given the meagre response it's had,

most of you clearly think it's cr*p!  So

cop a gander at a pic you won't turn up

your noses at - the cracking CINDY

CRAWFORD!  (Turn and face the

 camera, you big tease.)
