| Don't tell me there was a Jungle Robot before Archie! |
|
| Stunned at the prospect that Robot Archie might have a progenitor, I decided to take a peak. (Also, it’s a Christmas edition and I’m into reading Christmas comics all this month).
Bunter makes a good point as he journeys home on the train – why can’t he travel underneath the seat if he wants to? I might try that next time I venture forth – always good to find a new perspective on life.
The highlight of this edition though was the discovery of Stainless Stan, the Radio Man, in a tale of lost Inca treasure – well worth following, I’d say.
The Sexton Blake storyline looks good with its flying saucer and all – all the people of Pine Valley have disappeared. Where could they have gone and why? Only Sexton, I guess, is capable of providing the answer. |
