Here we go with my blog's traditional annual look back at Christmas comics of long ago. Regular readers will know that I do this every year and there'll be a different festive comic every day from now until Christmas. We're kicking off with the seasonal issue of Wham!, No.80, dated 25th December 1965 (which would have been in the shops on Monday 20th). The front and back covers feature The Tiddlers, the hilariously anarchic schoolkids created by Leo Baxendale. Leo wasn't drawing every strip by this time but we're in luck this week as he did this set. Here's a handful of interior strips... The Wacks drawn by Gordon Hogg... Eagle-Eye, Junior Spy drawn by Leo Baxendale... Frankie Stein drawn by Ken Reid... Georgie's Germs drawn by Leo Baxendale... Wham! had 20 pages for 7d, compared to its competitor Buster at the time which had 40 pages for 7d... but Wham! was cheekier, fresher, more raucous, and funnier in the opinion of many of us. Don't forget that Frankie Stein and all of Ken Reid's other strips for Wham!, Smash! and Pow! have been collected in two luxurious hardback books.

Back around 1980, DC Comics announced that they would be revisiting the Dial “H” for Hero concept. They would debut the new series in Adventure Comics using ideas sent in from readers. See, the whole Dial “H” thing made the heroes change identities each time they used the dial. So, after a few days of drawing and provide some background ideas on each character, I sent in my entries. A few months later, the series debuted but with no sight of any of my characters. Fast forward a few issues, we made a trip downtown to pick up some comics as we were gearing up to drive down to San Diego/Tijuana to visit family. I need something to read, so the comic shop was a must stop. I got my usual assortment of books and we went home to pack. By the time we got home, I had glanced at some of the books and made my way to Adventure Comics #481. After getting near the end, I saw my name attached to the Stellar character. Looking back at the cover, my design was also used for the cover. Cool! We realized we needed more copies. A quick run back to the comic shop and we loaded up with probably twenty copies of that issue which were mostly distributed to family. Every so often, I buy a copy of that issue. Eventually, Gabriel will see my brief entry into the comic world, too.
