Krazy
Special 1977

The first Krazy Special features all the usual suspects
from
the weekly comic, with one glaring exception. The
Krazy
Gang are
nowhere to be seen!
Instead, Cheeky
gets two shots at stardom all to himself,
as he travels to Mudsea
for a holiday. Frank McDiarmid holds
the pen and the puns in his unfumbling hands.
Did someone say "fumble"? Detective Fumbly
spins out
a two-page yarn as he goes "Digging for Clues"
on
the beach...
Elsewhere, Thomas Williams takes over Birdman and Chicken
from Trevor Metcalfe. This five-page adventure sees our duo
dueling with Mr
Greenfingers and a swarm of sugar-hungry
bees...
But topping the list of star strips is our pal Scaredy
Cat.
This four-page romp sees Scaredy and Squeeky travelling
to Gruesomtania, where they must battle with Count Batula
and release Doctor Frogenstein from his amphibious curse.
The strip is drawn, as ever, by Terry Bave, and it's a beauty.
Catty transformations meet Batty transformations as
Scaredy and the Count slug it out!
Oh yes. And pendants will note that this publication
is
billed as being a "Special", and not a "Holiday
Special".
Not that it makes any difference to the content or theme...
