| Thanks, Dan. Always glad to see some more Aussie books posted- this one is quite good! Cheers, bowers |
|
| There are a number of little touches here, I especially enjoyed the mention of Lew Mason in the Alan Grey story, making those stories (at least!) take place in the same world |
|
| I really like the "Wacky Potter" comedy story. the artwork is very unusual, but the action jumps out at the reader. I'd like it better in full colour, but it's great to have it in either form. |
|
| This is an entertaining collection of strips. I agree with Robb that the "Wacky Potter" story is fun. The crazy art style appeals to me. Who's the artist? And what exactly is a "trimmer"? |
|
| A "Trimmer" is something that is of excellent quality - first rate, really, really good! |
|
| I can't find who the artist on Wacky Potter is. I did, however, see that the Avian Tempest story is by Albert de Vine, who often illustrated stories of an aeronautical nature, including the Adventures of Biggles, the Phantom Commando and the Crimson Comet (all of which also featured art by John Dixon in other issues). |
