The LOOK-IN PICTURE STRIP ARCHIVE

[Shaqui]

We've got:

Sapphire & Steel
Space:1999
The Tomorrow People
Buck Rogers

and Terrahawks is on the way. (Did I also once see a banner saying 'Six Million Dollar Man' is coming soon?

Are there any other strips the Archive would like to run?

Timeslip?
Bionic Woman?
Robin Of Sherwood?
Knight Rider?
Battlestar Galactica?
Catweazle?

Any non-SF/fantasy ones?

Robin of Sherwood used to be in the archive... where's it gone?

Is there an issue with lack of space?

[Shaqui]

[CapBritain]

Robin of Sherwood is still here (no problem with space), to be found in the 80's issues of the Archive. Honest...

Unless you mean in the Picture Strip Collections section, in which case, sorry, RoS was never there (not even coming soon). Maybe in the future though if anyyone has a large enough collection they'd care to scan...?

Robin was the only strip I really liked in the 80s version of Look-in, i'd like to see a full set of strips of it, because I was very much a casual reader of the mag by then. if anyone out there wants to to a synopsis for the strip
section, I have a quite a few of the robin strips I could scan.

That's a good idea. I've got only a few, plus an Annual reprint or two. Happy to add what I've got, and bid for more missing issues on eBay.

[porkulator]

Why Don't you go ahead and right a title page then Franky? I'll start looking through and get my strips together. Shaq? any chance of a nice title bar?, the terrahawks one was really good, i'll post a message of what issues I have later today.

John.

By the way franky the very first issue with a Robin strip is on 'John's Look-out' now, address below. don't forget to sign the guestbook.

Robin of Sherwood:
first the good news, i've made a list of stories that appeared in Look-in, from a TIME SCREEN magazine supplement on telefantasy in comics. a slight problem is that the issues appear from the first in a story to the last e.g. For story 1 it appeared as '18-24', the problem arises with the xmas period issues sometimes there were 51 and sometimes 52, if anyone has any idea of issue numbers for these periods let us know. Otherwise the list reads:

1984
Story 01: - 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Story 02: - 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
Story 03: - 31, 32, 33, 34
Story 04: - 35, 36, 37, 38, 39
Story 05: - 40, 41, 42, 43, 44
Story 06: - 45, 46, 47, 48, 49
Story 07: - 50, (51, 52), 1

1985
Story 08: - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Story 09: - 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Story 10: - 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Story 11: - 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Story 12: - 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
Story 13: - 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35
Story 14: - 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41
Story 15: - 50, (51, 52), 1, 2

1986
Story 17: - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Story 18: - 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Story 19: - 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
Story 20: - 23, 24
Story 21: - 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31
Story 22: - 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37
Story 23: - 38, 39

Daz can now go ahead and make the basis of the pages.

Now the bad news, I have a quite few 84 issues but most are early 84, I have 8 with robin strips, which I will be glad to scan, they are,

(18 (available on 'Look-out'), 20, 22, 23, 24, 26,27, & 31), I will scan and send these to Daz soon. but looking above that is just a small dent in the series! hope you guys have a few more than me.....

Hi Jim,

If you are a big Galactica fan, you could make a synopsis fot the title page of the Galactica pages and send it to Daz, and ask him to put one up. Anyone who is a particular fan of a series/strip that appeared in Look-in can do the same, and you never know, it could be there next.

Is this something like you are talking about?

Jim

[Shaqui]

Yes, that's right. I wrote the one for Terrahawks:

https://lookinarchive.com/homepages/terrahawks/terrahawks_index.htm

- at Daz's suggestion as a/ I was supplying all the strips and b/ I'd already done quite a bit of research on it for the Gerry Anderson Complete Comic History website. I also did the banner, and supplied the gif that says 'New Picture Strip Starts Today' that illustrates the feature, which was on the front cover for issue 49.

...and I did the Space: 1999 one, so you see it's not too hard to get the ball rolling, another useful thing to do if you have issues with the strips in, is to list the stories and issues for the index, for example

1979
Story 1 - 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 1, 2, 3

1980
Story 2 - 4, 5, etc...
The listing for story one is complete above, cause most of it is on the archive, but you'll have to carry on.

If you are artistic, and good with paintshop or the like, you could do a banner. I did the Space:1999 one.

Then send these things to Daz, and in time he will, put it onsite.

John.
