Twit Of The Week

from 'Action' comic, 1980

Tony Sannio from Birmingham says:

"Twit of the week (any week) is Dr Who. I wish he'd trip over his long scarf and stop him being so daft. Anybody else would choke himself while fighting while wearing it to his toes. In any case, I think it's dangerous for kids to copy him in this fashion as it could happen to them. I only watch it for the monsters anyway. Maybe Knowall knows why?"

What an angry little boy.

My Life's Blood Is Yours

It's my birthday today, so here is probably my favourite magazine of all time, or at least the one I love the most. 'House Of Hammer' Number 17 came out in February 1978, but I didn't pick one up until Easter when my family and I went to Kessingland in Suffolk (a regular destination) for a very wet weekend in a ridiculously small caravan. I'd read it about a thousand times before we got home.

Aged 9, I found the 'Vampire Circus' adaptation endlessly involving, mainly because it was incredibly violent and I thought the artwork, by Brian Bolland, was brilliant. CHONK!
