Like many Americans, I was charmed and frustrated by The Penguin Book of Comics. On one hand it gave a fascinating glimpse into the world of British Comics, but on the other, I thought I'd never get to see them. Thanks for rectifying that situation! Radio Fun lives up to its name and the promise seen long ago in the Penguin book.
