Thread Name: BS: Nostalgia? (UK comics)
Subject: RE: BS: Nostalgia? (UK comics)
In the 60s, my sister use to work for IPC-or Odhams Press, as it was then called, and she use to bring home a copy of all their comics, which included The Eagle, which is famous, and a series of comics based loosly on The Dandy, etc, called Wham, Smash, and Pow. I have never met anyone who remembers these comics, but I use to love them. She also brought home Terrific, but what was in it, I cannot for the life of me remember. Being a spoilt little brat, my mother also use to have delivered TV21, the bestest comic ever, based around the Gerry Anderson tv programmes, such as Supercar, Thunderbirds, etc. The artwork in that was amazing. I also remember TV Tornado, based on contemporary tv programmes such as the Saint.

Ironically, I now work in the same building that use to print those IPC magazines, but now belongs to a govt. dept, for whom I work. IPC are just across the road.
