When I was young I went on holiday to Blaenau Ffestiniog in Wales. Being sensible, even at a tender age, I spent my entire holiday pocket money on arrival at the railway station newsagent on comics. Amongst them, there is one I still have, of which I share a page now. I thought at the time it was the most impressive words and images I had seen. Written by Steve Gerber it speaks for itself and of its period.
I think part of its impact was that it supplanted this Goya painting which haunted my earlier childhood.
