TV Comic Annual 1968

(TV Publications, 1967)

Book cover: “TV Comic Annual 1968” (TV Publications, 1967)

An abysmally written Adam Adamant short story, plus 90 pages of lame comics. Two simplistic, murkily illustrated four-page Doctor Who strips feature an overly tall Second Doctor defeating (with mammoths) Trods and (with rocks) Daleks, having first pre-invented the Goodies’ flying trandem!

The Doctor and his two young companions set out on a flying three-seater bicycle!

(Purnell, 1979)

Book cover: “Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven Annual: Well Done, Secret Seven” (Purnell, 1979)

Blyton’s novel, reworked and competently re-illustrated with half the chapters in (b&w) comic-book form, interspersed with games and activities. The artwork is inconsistent in depicting character ages, and overcluttered—especially when squeezing seven (or occasionally a miscounted eight!) children into treehouse scenes.
