Frank Bellamy and Kettering Leader and Guardian (PART TWO)

I've previously written about the Kettering Leader and Guardian and thought I'd show you all the images I've collected from it...so far! Lockdown means no British Library visits unfortunately but it does mean more time in your garden! Me? In MY garden? They call me 'Black-finger Boyd'!

All these images are from the Kettering Leader and Guardian 1947 and some of the gags work still in the 21st century; some don't. And do not sue me if these tips don't work for you!

Lastly here's one of the gardening columns not drawn by Bellamy and published immediately before him coming on board

11 April 1947

Happy Birthday EAGLE!

On this day (before I was born) the comic called Eagle (not 'the Eagle'!) was born from the visionary zeal of Marcus Morris and Frank Hampson - yes! the 'other' Frank!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EAGLE

My birthday present to all the world is some of Frank Bellamy's artwork which appeared in this superlative comic. Rather like that meme/chain letter on Facebook. 'No comment just pictures' ... and don't look for too many patterns in what I've chosen!

 

 

 

And lastly, thanks to the past, present and future members of the Eagle Society for keeping Eagle's memory alive via their magazine Eagle Times
