British Update: Long Hot Summer – The First Four Look-In Holiday Specials/Summer Extras
*TV & Film Related Comics: The ‘Junior TV Times’, having launched in 1971, was a sufficient hit to commence its own series of Holiday Specials the following year (retitled Summer Extras from 1974 on). We have the first four in stock, commencing with 1972, with the star power of ‘Catweazle’, ‘Please Sir’ and ‘On the Buses’; 1973 offers a David Cassidy comic strip – apparently drawn by somebody who’d never seen pictures of David Cassidy, which is a bit weird – in the 1970s how could you avoid him? 1974 has an extra-length ‘Timeslip’ story, and Gary Glitter exhorting the readers to ‘Remember Me This Way’ (We’ll just leave that right there, shall we?) And rounding it out, 1975 has, unusually, no comics content, but a plethora of pop pin-ups and TV publicity puff pieces.
