The Christmas TAMMY (1971)

Tammy become launched in early 1971 so this become its first Christmas protest. The comedian become the principle of a restful form of IPC comics that dangle been more streetwise, and more probably to feature working class heroes. Its success ended in comics equivalent to Lumber, Battle, and 2000AD. Though the assign these three comics generally enraged about slither and gritty warfare, Tammy become more relating to the emotional punch, and it undoubtedly delivered, especially in its early days. More about Tammy subsequent week, if I even dangle time.


This Christmas protest did now not feature rather a few festive fabric, so I’ll correct middle of attention on the pages that did. The quilt become by John Armstrong, featuring his Beattie Brown character from the serial Beattie Beats ‘Em All


The sole humour strip Lulu had a pleasing tidy vogue to its artwork. Does someone know who illustrated it? It looks to be like admire Colin Wyatt’s work to me…

The serial No Tears For Molly become a if truth be told standard sequence that ran for years. I mark it become written by Maureen Spurgeon and drawn by Tony Thewenetti in step with the Jinty blog. You would possibly maybe presumably watch what I mean relating to the comedian playing on the sentiments. The experiences ceaselessly featured intrepid resilience against merciless, even sadistic, adults. Precise engaging stuff…

…and on the support page, right here is an outfit you would possibly maybe presumably win for Christmas. Event admire it is 1971! 

There will be one other dip into the time circulate to drag out one other Christmas classic rapidly!
