Who is Jon?

Born in the pages of Look-In — the beloved British "Junior TV Times" — Jon made his debut in 1979, a true child of the Bronze Age and the golden era of UK comics tie-in culture. Created by Angus P. Allan and Bill Titcombe, this character found a home in ITV's flagship youth publication and stuck around through the early '80s, racking up an impressive 97 catalogued appearances across a run that stretched to 1983. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making them genuine finds for collectors hunting complete Look-In runs. The company Jon keeps is wonderfully eclectic — scarecrow Worzel Gummidge, stuntman Colt Seavers, space adventurers Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering, and even Paul McCartney all share the same pages, a testament to just how gloriously varied Look-In's world really was.
