Adventures in Pictures: From Sparky to Starblazer and Beyond

DC Thomson staffer Bill McGoughlinOver on the downthetubes main site, Jeremy Briggs talks to DC Thomson writer and editor Bill McLoughlin, whose career has covered text based story papers, as well as the comic strip humour, adventure and digest titles and who, at a time when more old DCT material is available in book form than for many years, now works for their Syndication Department.

Bill talks candidly about working for DCT, reveals the identity of "Sir" from Sparky - one of those great mysteries of Britain's humour comics - and revels in the idea that someone will one day collect Starblazer in the same way Carlton has made a success of the Scottish publishers Commando books.
