UPDATED: Fun and Games comic

This is not to be confused with Tesco fun 'n games (which I looked at here and here) but instead is a comic I know very little about. The comic is described thus by Comics International...New two-in-one comic: Fun reprints Fleetway's Frankiestein, Sweeny Toddler etc. Games is a 24 page cover-mounted supplement, 99p

This is the only image I can find of it online.

Cover art clearly by Tom Paterson. It's published by Nexus Media.

The first mention of Fun and Games in Comics International #79 (March 1997) where issues 3&4 are highlighted. The last mention in Comics International #93 - where issues 29 & 30 are highlighted. There may have been further issues but Comics International never mentions Fun and Games again.

Update

I've now acquired some more images...

Issue 1 with free gift

You can just about see (on the bottom left hand side) the wrap-around (cover-mounted) 'games' section. So, even if 'games' gets detached from the comic you'd still have the 'fun' section left looking like a regular comic.

Ah, here's a Claws reprint...

...and more Tom Paterson art on the back page.

The bottom half of Tom Paterson's art is obscured by the cover-mounted, wraparound 'games' section.

Lew Stringer has look at Fun and games on his blog here

UPDATE:

I've now found a cover for issue #4 (June 1997). Another cover by Tom Paterson.

contents include...Frankie Stein, art by Terry Bave, 'Strong Stuff' strip, 'Handy Andy' strip, 'Memory Banks' strip, 'X-ray specs' strip, 'Sammy shrink' strip, 'Lazy Bones' strip, 'Cry baby' strip, 'Creepy Comix' strip and 'The Invisible family' by Tom Paterson (this looks like a new strip whereas the rest are reprints).

Terry Bave's Whacko comic

I was saddened the other day to read (here) of the death of British humour comics stalwart Terry Bave. As a lad I read his work in (my brother's copy of) Whizzer and Chips but I probably became most interested in his work when I discovered some unique try-out strips he'd drawn for a comic that never made it to the newsstand, Whacko.

I tell the full story here so I won't go into it all again but I will share some of Terry's unique characters with you here...

You should see that Terry has signed each of the final panels.

Continuing my trawl through the Book Palace website (here) for humour comic art of my childhood I stumble across these old friends...
