Crikey! # 15
Only time for a quick flick through the issue so far. (Sometimes having to work for a living can really put a crimp on your day.)
Looking forward to reading the rest of the 80s Eagle article.
Loving the cover to the second Willy The Kid book on page 13. I spent endless hours poring over that book after receiving it one Christmas as a kid and have been a lifelong fan of Baxendale ever since.
I even have a couple of Baxendale's Willy The Kid prints framed on my wall.

Baxendale is a genius-right up there with my personal fave, the great Ken Reid (well, almost).

Jealous of your prints, MLP!
I'm Baxendale fan too, particularly Willy the Kid. Book 2's brilliant, but not as good as the first Willy the Kid book, which is probably my most treasured annual.

The prints are available from Baxendale's website. Expensive but I decided I was worth it.

And yeah, my Willy The Kid books are extremely tatty from years of being read and reread but thirty years on I still have them all. And if I had to run into a burning building to save any of my collection it would be them that I would grab.

See, I've never quite understood this what-would-you-save thing. Personally, I'd bypass the collection and head straight for the fire extinguisher instead, more chance of saving the lot that way...MLP* wrote:Spiff_B wrote:Jealous of your prints, MLP!

I've missed the point, haven't I?

I visit the Baxendale site occasionally, must've missed these. Dearth of pics; the picnic one sounds worth a punt.MLP* wrote:Spiff_B wrote:Jealous of your prints, MLP!

I got rid of most of my annuals in my mid-teens (have since bought many back...) but the Willy books easily survived the cull!

I bought the picnic and cricket ones and framed up they make for a really nice pair. ( I bought one of them and it was so nice when it arrived I knew I had to have both !)
They are hand finished and signed by Baxendale.
It sounds like I'm on a commision but I'm not.

I think I'll start with the picnic one and see what I think (not a sports fan!).

Re: Crikey! # 15
Finished reading the issue. A good mix of articles as always with some characters I've heard of (like Darkie) and some I haven't (like Captain Hurricane.)
Cool. Let us know what you think when it arrives.

Re: Crikey! # 15
Just wanted to complement you on another fine issue. I particually enjoyed the Spoof Spooks article as I remember many of these strips as a child. It was very well researched and the accompanying strips most amusing. Please give Mr Devaney my regards on a fantastic job.
I look forward to next issue, particularly since it covers one of my all time favorite comic series.

IPC had a long standing love affair with spooks, well worth revisiting I agree. Brian Walker's stuff was probably my favourite.Hourglass wrote:Just wanted to complement you on another fine issue.

Re: Crikey! # 15
Thank you to Tony for No 15. Not too much in it to my taste this time-but sure there is lots for other Crikey fans though! Hoping that Rab Smith's "I.Spy" article might surface next issue as I hope to send in a letter to Crikey regarding his fine article (I have a advance copy!)

It's definitely in, Alan. That's one schedule change that won't happen again...alanultron5 wrote:Thank you to Tony for No 15.
