Captain Britain comics are awesome,especially with the mask and boomerang.Just saying.

 

I remember going to the newsagent for a copy of issue 1. He wasn't impressed, said I shouldn't buy it, especially because of the rubbish art in the story at the back. It was drawn by Jim Steranko, so a bit off the mark there. :facepalm:

Oi.....did he try and push you to Beano or something?

 

He could be a bit sarcastic, so I can imagine him recommending Bunty.

Sadly, Viz wasn't around in 1976. :(

Could be. Don't remember seeing those titles in newsagents in the ' 70s.

That's the joke. He could've suggested the Bunty Annual 1976. It was a British comic for girls.

 

Only a couple of years or so early for Viz Comic.
