Krazy also featured a back cover "disguise", so you could read the comic when you weren't supposed to. 🙂

The back cover disguise for Krazy #1, making the comic look like a school exercise book.

*Fifty years ago*, my mum bought me Krazy comic #1 - this very issue. Dog-eared but well-loved, although the free plastic vampire teeth were lost almost straight away.

A tatty copy of Krazy comic #1, dated 16th October 1976 on the cover, featuring three members of the Krazy Gang.

Cam Kennedy's birthday is the perfect opportunity to repost one of the all-time great two-page spreads from @2000ad.bsky.social. Supersurf 7 is go! Go! GO!

Two-page spread from 2000AD story Midnight Surfer, written by John Wagner & Alan Grant, and drawn by Cam Kennedy.
The sky is filled with sky surfers competing in the Supersurf 7 competition, with the Mega-City One skyline in the background.

Happy Day of Dredd to everyone off to the signings. Judge Milk says: "behave yourself in the queues, citizens." #DayOfDredd

Judge Milk, he's only in it for the violence.

#29 Two missives from the Letters page. STOP HAVING FUN INCORRECTLY, PEOPLE!

Letter criticising a recent White Dwarf article on Space Travel in AD&D: "King Arthur and ye knights of ye rounde merchant space ship, riding valiantly to battle on their trusty anti-gravity steeds, nobly adorned in alchemical backpacks and brandishing rifled weapons is hardly the spirit of AD&D."
I don't know, sounds pretty cool to me.

Letter looking down on people who play RPGs for the "simple desire to hack and slay", rather than the noble pursuit of role-playing.
I'll get me coat.
