IPC REDUX

THIS ITEM was a one-off, fairly elaborate Christmas-themed item in which the criteria was to recreate the ambience of the late 1960s/ very early 70s humour comics put out by IPC/ Fleetway---you know the sort of thing if you are into this stuff: Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, and many more.

Great fun, though clearly, this one took a fair bit of time to put together.

These items had to be knocked out quickly, I recall, but the buyer seemed pleased with the results. MORE OT THESE LATER, they crop up a fair bit RAB L RAUSER
