IT'S FABULOUSLY FLIPPIN' FANTASTIC - PART 1



I've lost track of how many previous posts I've published on the ODHAMS PRESS periodical, FANTASTIC - so I'm going to start from scratch and showcase my cover gallery from issue 1. This will save anyone from having to dig through the blog archives in order to find any posts they may have missed. Not for nothing am I known for my thoughtful consideration for others, regardless of even the slightest concern for myself. I'm a veritable saint, I am - even if I say so myself. (And I do.)


Anyway, as some of you will already know, Fantastic was a comic which lasted for 89 issues back in the 1960s, and which reprinted MARVEL stories from the US. The comic featured the adventures of THOR, X-MEN and IRON MAN in the early issues, along with a strip called THE MISSING LINK - which was later renamed JOHNNY FUTURE.


I'll fill you in with anything pertinent as we go along, but for now let's just relax and enjoy the covers and back-page pin-ups from this titanic title from yesteryear - when the POWER PACK seemed to hold sway over newsagents' counters the length and breadth of Britain.










Look out for more cataclysmic comic covers from FANTASTIC - soon!
