WE HAVE LIFT OFF! BABE Of The DAY - AYSHEA BROUGH...

Apparently, all but three episodes of LIFT OFF With AYSHEA were accidentally destroyed during a digital transfer (or something along those lines), which means her later puppet co-stars, OLLIE BEAK and FRED BARKER (no relation to RONNIE or CARNIVAL) now mainly survive only in publicity stills.  (A home recording has subsequently been discovered of the episode featuring DAVID BOWIE's first TV appearance as ZIGGY STARDUST.)  Her show ran from 1969 to 1974, and if you were a kid at the time, Ayshea is bound to have featured heavily in your youthful fantasies.  (She reminds me slightly of IMOGEN HASSALL, another Babe.) 

BUSTER - WOTTA GUY!

Copyright REBELLION

Here's BUSTER from the mid-'60s having some Bonfire Night fun!  Below is the original art for this strip, which also appears 'panel-to-panel' here.  I happen to think that this cover looks great, and would have any kid wanting to buy it on sight, as opposed to what I consider mainly less-appealing covers on comics today.  At the foot of the post is a cover to Buster Comics Library #29 from the mid-'80s, which was recalled from sale because of Buster and his chum handling and lighting fireworks.  Consequently, there's not too many of them around, and this one was given to me personally by IPC Humour Group Editor BOB PAYNTER so that I didn't have a missing issue in my complete run.  Good ol' Bob.
