FINAL PART (SIXTEEN) OF SMASH! COVER GALLERY...

Copyright REBELLION

That's it, Criv-ites - we've reached the end of the road as far as our SMASH! cover gallery series goes.  You now have all 95 issues of the 1969 relaunched version, and I've even thrown in the two Holiday Specials ('69 & '70) as well.  So smile at the pleasant journey through yesteryear we've all enjoyed together, and shed a tear of sadness that it's over.  However, we still have many more travels in time to take, so wipe away that tear and look forward to the past that's yet to come.  (Ooh, profound or what?)






A symbolic cover indeed - SMASH! had reached the end of the line

    Really enjoying these SMASH covers. The comic was before my time, and somehow I'd never heard of Simon Test. Ezekiel Sparr had pretty limited career options with his looks. It was either super-villain or, er, super-villain.

    Will you post any of the Simon Test stories?

    Might do, OD, but Tri-Man is ahead in the queue. Glad to know you've enjoyed seeing the covers. One of the other Smash! features, Cursitor Doom, is on the blog somewhere. Just type the name in the Blogger search box in the top left-hand corner of my home page.

    Already done, printed and read a while ago! If memory serves it was Cursitor versus 'the Dwarf.' Great stuff!

    Yeah, Kalak the Dwarf - great Eric Bradbury art.
