British Update: Long Hot Summer! Whizzer & Chips Summer/Holiday Specials, complete from 1970-1982!
*Humour Comics: Among the last of the great and long-running humour launches, Whizzer & Chips began in 1969 with the inexplicable but oddly effective concept of having two rival ‘comics’ in the same magazine, and locked in a deadly rivalry. Whether you were a ‘Whiz-Kid’ or a ‘Chip-Ite’ caused many a playground scuffle back in the day! From 1970, this friendly rivalry was expanded into extra-length Holiday Specials (some called ‘Summer Specials’), and we are delighted to have a sequential run from 1970 – the very first W & C Special – through to 1982, in varying grades. Popular and long-running features include ‘Sid’s Snake’, ‘Shiner’, ‘Wear ‘Em Out Wilf’, ‘Odd Ball’, ‘The Toughs and the Toffs’, ‘Fuss Pot’, ‘Sweet Tooth’, and scores more. Our copy of the first Whizzer & Chips Holiday Special (pictured) is VG at £25; details of the others may be found in our online listings.
