During the 70's I had some very strange encounters with US Customs agents due to luggage that was mostly toys or comics. The strangest one was about 1977. Dr Who, the Tom Baker version had started to be shown on US TV. It was broadcast Saturday mornings and developed quite a following. <br /><br />Going through Customs I had a bag full of the Dr Who Marvel comic. The Customs Agent said he was a Little League baseball coach and his kids were not turning up because they wee home watching Dr Who. I seriously thought he was going to confiscate the lot for his own use to impress back his Little Leaguers.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-32670614944971682282018-05-30T13:40:45.100+01:002018-05-30T13:40:45.100+01:00Wow!

The new Dan Dare was a waste of space but Judge Dredd and RoBusters more than made up for it. As I was living in the US in 1977 they were held for me by my parents until my next visit. Then it was like a 'wet playtime' at school when you got to stay indoors and read a pile of comics.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-68327808150357041082018-05-29T17:10:54.196+01:002018-05-29T17:10:54.196+01:00Did you read 2000AD Terran?Did you read 2000AD Terran?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237005016866918414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-9144994853502831412018-05-29T00:02:50.988+01:002018-05-29T00:02:50.988+01:00Looks are everything.

A pity because they looked like they were from Ro-busters in early 2000AD.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-18708637666790965102018-05-28T22:06:07.161+01:002018-05-28T22:06:07.161+01:00Fair enough!
