Comics for the bonfire!


Whizzer and Chips, 1969. Art by Mike Lacey.
If you've followed this blog for years, or have browsed old posts in the sidebar, you may have seen these covers before but I thought I'd post them in one post this year for November 5th. Various firework-themed covers from the past, in the days when such a thing was an accepted norm for British comics. (Note: All covers are scanned from the physical comics in my collection.)
Wham! 1964. Art by Leo Baxendale.

Wham! 1965. Art by Leo Baxendale.
