It all began here 9th February 1980 in Nutty Comic No:1, not only was this DC Thomson's best new comic since Cracker in 1975 but it introduced the world to the one and only Bananaman. Drawn by the legendary John Geering who was also responsible for The Beano's Smudge & The Sparky's Puss 'n' Boots. He would become one of DCT most popular & commercially successful creations.
Here we see his first adventure from the back page of the first issue. There are a lot of differences from the Bananaman he became from the look of Eric Wimp to the differences in his costume, red trunks, red gloves and yellow,black mask.But these strips lived up to the comic title completely Nutty and just fantastic.
I will be covering all the major events in the history of certainly one of my favourite comic characters, covering the Nutty, Dandy, Annuals, TV and more. I hope you will enjoy and you never know it may even give DCT a nudge to bring out some specials this year...collectors book please.
