(BOND) BABE Of The DAY - JULIE EGE...
The DISAPPEARING PEN Affair...
![]() |

Back in November of last year I published a Man From U.N.C.L.E. Annuals Cover Gallery, in which I mentioned my brother owning an invisible ink fountain pen (acquired in either Kinghorn or Ayr I think, around the mid-'60s), which I somehow lost while crossing a playing field one day. Well, it's only taken me around 60 years, but I've just received a replacement for it, which I bought after seeing it on eBay recently (arrived today, along with my glow-in-the-dark skull).
Will I be giving it to my sibling to replace his long-vanished writing implement? (That means 'pen', Melvin.) Hey, stop being so silly - of course I won't. It's mine! (I have a vague notion my brother's pen may've been green or grey [or a greeny-grey], but I'm not 100% sure. I have seen ones on the 'net in something resembling those and other colours). Any older Crivs ever own such a pen? Open Channel 'D' and relive your childhood memories in our comments section.
