| "Casanova's Luck" (pp28-31) artwork by John McNamara. |
|
| Ten Little Soccer Boys was my favourite - good artwork and an excellent hook to keep you reading subsequent issues - very well done.
Sabrina - what a star she was - perhaps the first to be celebrated for being a celebrity.
My favourite period is 1958-61. I would love to have been a young man during that time - the music, the clothes, the entertainment, the girls - although I guess that's probably a rose-tinted view |
