"Great News Chums!" was the dreaded phrase that met British comic fans in the 1970's when they opened up their favourite weekly only to find that from next week, it would be merging with a crap publication you never bought. I can't guarantee that we won't merge this blog with one on, say, Taiwanese politics. But for now, enjoy a trip into pre-1985 graphic goodness.

Werewolves!



"Was there more to the legend of the wolf-people than just an old wives' tale?" Magazine reporter Quintin Barkley investigates. 1979.

















"Only a crazed beast could be responsible for the ghastly killings of innocent young women" in this Toronto-based shocker with a Universal-copyright defying cover illustration. 1979

















The second of Guy N. Smith's werewolf novels, and as sleazy as you would hope. 1977


















It's better than the film! 1975




















A more accurate cover blurb might be "now sharing a title but very little else with a major film". Gary Bradner's rubbish novel gets a new lease of life. 1980
