PERIL FROM BELOW (PT. 1)

Welcome to a new blog representing stories from the British comics of yesteryear.

Some of these tales, usually of the bizarre and fantastic, have never been reprinted.

I hope you will enjoy them.

We start with "Peril From Below", a 18 part serial from the pages of the original "Knockout" comic.

Knockout has primarily been a humour title, but towards the end of it's run devoted more of its space to adventure strips, including this story obviously influenced by the sci-fi movies of the 1950s.

I'm not sure who the writer is, possibly Tom Tully, but the artist is Eric Bradbury, one the the UK comics industry's great unsung talents.

Part 2 will follow next week.
