Ponch

Ponch is a comic-strip adaptation of the character Officer Frank 'Ponch' Poncherello from the television series CHiPs, as published in the British weekly Look-In magazine beginning in 1979.

Ponch roared onto British comics pages in 1979, debuting in the beloved UK weekly Look-In — ITV's "Junior TV Times" — right in the thick of the Bronze Age, brought to life by the creative team of Angus P. Allan and Bill Titcombe. With a solid 97 catalogued appearances and two collector-recognised key issues to their name, this is a character with genuine staying power across a run stretching into the early eighties. The company Ponch keeps is gloriously eclectic — sharing those Look-In pages with the likes of Buck Rogers, Wilma Deering, Worzel Gummidge, Colt Seavers, and even Paul McCartney makes for one of the most wonderfully varied neighbourhoods in British comics history. For collectors who cherish that golden era of UK TV tie-in comics, Ponch is a warm and rewarding piece of the puzzle.
