| Issue #1 and #2 of this are definitely not what it says on the tin.
Contains Jack Sparling's strip, 'Claire Voyant'.
Sparling is unusual in that he got worse as he got
older. Probably cared a lot less.
This is excellent work. |

| Cheap to make: all newspaper reprints, mostly (to me) rather obscure strips, except Clare Voyant and Dotty Dripple. |

That was exactly the point, and probably why Magazine Enterprises went into the business and then didn't last long.
However, I believe these are some of the only pages of CLAIR VOYANT still in existence. |
