Remembering Kenny Everett, who died on this day in 1995. I remember this sketch so vividly, everyone thought it was the funniest thing ever. That leg shake at the end, genius...

In 1947 #StanLee self-published a guide revealing the SECRETS BEHIND THE COMICS. A digest-sized tome, it shows the various behind-the-scenes steps that go into creating a comic. This must be one of the earliest comics how-to books. #MarvelComics #creatingcomics

I'm sure that only the most stylish of #DoctorWho fans were wearing these Plastoid badges (or brooches!) in 1965. How lucky that there was a mini Dalek for those times when you needed to be a little more discreet about your fandom.

Bullet! The comic everyone forgot. The comic that wasn't Action. The comic from the makers of the Beano. As a card-carrying (and medalion-wearing) member of the Fireball Club I'm going to try and make the case for re-evaluating Bullet today. Come with me...

As there is an 'r' in the month, it seems a good time to remind passing strangers that my two books are still available from various places online. All about Roy and other comic heroes! Tell passing strangers you know!!
