Action Stations!

[Byron Virgo]

Attention, Boys & Girls!

Saturday 1st October marks the release of the only existing copy of the long forgotten childrens comic Action Stations (incorporating Fairytale Princess for Girls). The book contains a number of highly regarded strips of yesteryear as:

-Pony School
-Secret Agent Skipper
-Destroy All Japs!
-Wild West Wendy
-Misty the Teen Detective

To round the issue out, there's an interview with comic writing legend Jimmy McGuffin, a letters page and all the sorts of usual rubbish that people use to pad these sorts of books out with.

Own yourself a slice of British comic-book history for only ?2 + 50p P&P by contacting PonySchool@gmail.com

And for those of the more literal-minded amongst you, I hereby point out that this is a PARODICAL publication.

Now here's a pic from Destroy All Japs!

It's all very well claiming it's a parody, but what if stupid people read it?  They might think you're being serious - it's a well-known fact that comics are for children and the mentally subnormal, and I'm shocked and apalled that you aren't catering for their circumstances.
It's the equivalent of getting behind the wheel of a comic and ploughing it into a bus queue full of special needs children reading comics full of non-comedy foreigners.
You sicken me.

all the sorts of usual rubbish that people use to pad these sorts of books out with.

Are there previews?  Tell me there are previews...

[Funt Solo]

You've perfected a package of pictured (penned, pencilled or painted) potboilers in a parodical periodical publication.

[SamuelAWilkinson]

Alliterative aceness!

"Are there previews? Tell me there are previews..."

I'm not sure what you mean - do you think there are going to be previews of the book in the book itself?

Well, I can tell you that there's also going to be a free mini-comic that will be available to whosoever might want a copy.

Anyway, here's a picture from the controversial (yet popular in France) Euro-hardcover series Dirty Arabs, written by the notorious Jimmy McGuffin:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/BVirgo01/Pony%20School/durty.jpg">

Are you still shamelessly whoring your strumpet publication about with abandon?
You, sir, are a social pornographer to children, and were I not riddled with polio, I should like to take you outside and trounce some decency into you.

[Conexus]

Oh, but you know what these cocky 'i'm a better writer than the actual writer' types are like they always follow the script writer's instructions, just after the've caught a flying pig and found a Republican votting Christian with a brain... No, what might, in the authors mind be a page showing a polite tea party with mr Peirson, quickly becomes a celebration of inscestous underage gangbanging  in their depraved hands

[Queen Firey-Bou]

Rubbish !   some of us cheap tescos fine-liner monkeys follow the instruction to the letter, RACs script definately said, a polio ridden child, & a very nice cowgirl laydee makes tea & takes bible classes. yes. no blood.

For what it's worth, I followed the script lavishly.

I told you page one works better as three panels...

[Richmond Clements]

And you were right, damn your eyes!

[Carlsborg Expert]

See. Thats what I mean to attention to detail when it comes to lettering, Bear.

You two obviously know what you,re doing so it must come down to time compression.

Just saying like.

Ooh how lovely did you do that yourself?
