So, now that we've run all the episodes that were originally published in short-lived UK comic The DFC, what now?
Starting this Friday, there are three more weekly episodes to come that have never appeared before in print.
That'll make three chapters (out of nine) from the Winter book that are available to read online absolutely free. Gosh, it's like stowing away aboard the Orient Express and having somebody bring you Camembert sandwiches.
The Penny Tin Whistler by Sylvia Fair

This is Fair’s second novel for pre-teens/young adults, published in 1976.
It has a number of similarities with her previous book, The Ivory Anvil, in
that...
I love the way that Leo's constructed this panel and the panel that precedes it is a knockout and all too vivid for sufferers of vertigo.
ReplyDeleteSo I'd say Camembert with a bottle of wine or two to accompany it.
Very clever use of one of the "Silver Age" Mirabilis covers too.
I'm not at all keen on heights myself, so those panels really had me clutching for the edge of the desk too. Funnily enough, I was looking through the whole Book One story last night and Jack gets into lots of scrapes at high altitude. I guess it's an obsession of mine!
