They started in the US in the late 40's and were issued in the UK. My introduction to War of the Worlds, Jules Verne SF and The Red Badge of Courage were via these comics.<br /><br />In school a set book one term was Macbeth. I couldn't make head or tail of the plot until reading the Classic Illustrated version.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-55456246877582361902018-07-13T15:17:01.509+01:002018-07-13T15:17:01.509+01:00I only knew Follifoot fron the comic strip in Look...I only knew Follifoot fron the comic strip in Look-InTerranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-30712177206285892912018-07-12T21:49:27.621+01:002018-07-12T21:49:27.621+01:00Not got Netflix Mish.

The second Doctor episodes were playing when I was in Art School. One of the other students was a daughter of Sydney Newman, the creator of Dr Who. After the first episode played showing the metalic sphere rolling along the ground someone rolled a plastic ball accross the art studio floor past her and we all fell about laughing at her reaction.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-11715694493353566872018-07-10T18:27:06.867+01:002018-07-10T18:27:06.867+01:00A brilliant annual Tone and I sort of recall the r...A brilliant annual Tone and I sort of recall the rear cover too.

His kilt was longer than the hem of her skirts and at some point there was an altogether too long sequence of Wendy climbing a rope ladder. From then on the level of stories suffered, the next Doctor being earth bound followed by a production team that just made fun of the charactor.<br /><br />Wendy Padbury was a runner up in a TV talent show, the blonde actress that won as far as I know didn't appear on TV again. She also was on Emmerdale Farm with Fraser Hines.Terranova47https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417687209201322523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-5092615802928684242018-07-10T16:08:41.592+01:002018-07-10T16:08:41.592+01:00He was companion to the second Doctor for most of ...He was companion to the second Doctor for most of his era. He also appeared in the 20th anniversary special and again in a sixth doctor story. His character was a jacobite fighter called Jaimie McCrimmon.
