RIP Lewis Collins...


So sad to hear today of the death of Lewis Collins, who became famous as 
William Bodie, one half of 'The Professionals'. Thoughts go out to his family.

Here is a cleaned up version of the first issue of Look-in's main rival 'TV TOPS',
which coincidentally contains a strip of 'The Professionals', so it sadly seemed
apt to upload it today.

Thanks to mag@zone for the issue (permission given).

Reboot Correction...

It dawned on me that No.49 is not a full issue, but that I could update it using pages from Pete's 1971 collection, so I have done this and now it is a complete strips only issue.  Get the updated issue HERE.

Reboot No.29...

Here are two more from 1971, including aptly enough the Xmas issue....soon be here!!!  No's 49 and 51 respectively.  See you at the weekend for a proper update.

Mag@zone...

Got an e-mail today from a guy called Mark Perkins, who has recently started a site called 'Mag@zone', it has full issues of classic magazines, there are four issues of Look-in, and an issue of Look-in's rival TV TOPS, along with other pop and teen mags of the time.  It's shaping up to be a great site, and well worth a visit.
