COMIC COVERS 'SNAP' - PART TWENTY-THREE: LION & THUNDER HAVE GOT IT COVERED...


Copyright REBELLION

One of my favourite covers is THUNDER Annual for 1972 (issued around August or September 1971), which I first bought in December of '71 from the proceeds of a Christmas tip given to me by an elderly couple on my paper round.  However, I've only just discovered that it was a 'homage' (to put it nicely) to the cover of a 1965 issue of LION comic weekly.  I think there's little doubt that one 'inspired' the other, eh?  It's interesting to note that Thunder weekly was merged into Lion after only 22 issues, several months before the Annual even went on sale.
