Monster
Fun Annual 1980

Where's our Kid gone? - This year, Frankie Stein has
usurped the front cover of the annual. He and the Professor
are drawn marvellously-well by Robert Nixon...
Equally-marvellous are this year's Badtime Bedtime
presentations. "Robinson Gruesome" is billed as
a
"Second Showing" and it is, indeed, a repro
of a tale
that first appeared all the way back in "Monster
Fun
Comic" #2.
"Aladdin and His Wonderful Tramp" is new,
though.
It's also bloomin' brilliant. This eight-page romp from
Mike Brown contains some fabulous riffs on "Star
Wars",
would you believe? - Oh, but of course you would.
It's a Badtime Bedtime Story, after all!
Mike Brown's also holding the pen throughout "Alfie's
Alphabet" which is another A-Z of one-off hilarity...
Robert Nixon's drawn afour-page Kid Kong story that's
beautifully inked. And Cliff Brown gives us two very
distinct Spot the Difference games.
Oh, but notice how reprints of "Hot Rod" make
the most
appearances. That's a worrying sign for the future,
is that...
