SMASH! COVER GALLERY - PART THIRTEEN...


Copyright REBELLION

SIMON TEST still dominates the covers of SMASH! weekly, making me wonder if he was the runaway leader in the comic's popularity polls.  We'll never know for sure, alas, but perhaps the fate of the pulsating periodical would've been different had JANUS STARK ever looked out at readers from the newsagents' counters. Curiously, when it came to the Annuals, HIS SPORTING LORDSHIP was the cover star (apart from the first and last ones, which featured TRI-MAN and a generic Kung-Fu/Karate figure, respectively.)

Want to see more of these covers?  Then be sure to let me know in the comments section.  And if any of you Crivs would like to remind yourselves of just what the Annual covers looked like, then click here.  (The ODHAMS PRESS Annuals are also featured.)

  1. Ah, now that reminded me, will you still be showing us the Tri-Man strips after Don Starr has finished?

  5. 2502 seems an oddly specific number of Lego sets to he giving away... Maybe they were trying to make it seem more likely that readers could win one.

  6. I used to read Smash! religiously, mate, so I'll take as many covers as you can throw at us!

  7. It does, doesn't it? Could that number be the code for that particular set perhaps, DD?
