Not really "GREAT NEWS" is it!
ReplyDeleteIt was always "Great news for readers inside!" or "Comic stars on the move!" and you knew it was sadly over for your IPC paper as it got merged into a better-selling one. However, the first merged issues were usually excellent, all the characters meeting & greeting each other on the cover, free gifts, competitions and new features as well as a redesign. Apparently this was IPC policy rather than failure; the newly-merged titles always sold many more copies than the separate titles had done. I well remember Krazy (the best IPC title ever) merging into Whizzer & Chips, Cheeky merging into Whoopee! and everything (Monster Fun, Jackpot, etc) merging into Buster. Also Starlord and Tornado merging into 2000AD - but that's another story...
