Advertising comics (6) - Money Fun - issue 2

So here's the front cover to Money Fun, Denis Gifford's National Savings Bank comic

And here's the back cover

Contributors to this 8 page, July 1982 publication include Denis Gifford, Les Barton, Brian Walker and John Richardson, whose original centre-spread art (shown below) is currently on sale here for £75
