SPECTRUM IS STILL GREEN...

Just had to show all you mad, mental Crivvies another of my recent acquisitions - a life-size Captain Scarlet pistol that looks great.  It's a display model and doesn't fire any bullets (a bit like myself these days), but I love it.  In fact, I'm going to hug it and love it and call it George, and might even have its babies.  Anyway, remember - Captain Scarlet is indestructible - you are not!  So whaddya think, Crivs - would you like one of these guns?  Then straight to the comments section with you and tell us all why.

Decided to buy a handful of Avengers weekly comics from eBay recently, just so's I could show you the covers, Crivs.  (After all, can't publish any posts if I've nothing to illustrate them with.)  The second last one (#95) is the first combined ish of The Avengers and The Savage Sword Of Conan weekly, which was merged into the older mag after 18 issues in its own series.  Obviously, UK kids weren't much into sword and sorcery at the time, but I suppose the subsequent success of the monthly mag of the same name suggests they developed a taste for it before too long.  If you recall any of these issues, feel free to share your memories of them in our comments section.

Conan's legs are seriously dodgy on this cover, particularly his right one
