Lion #30 October 1965

In "Menace of the Golden Men," Ted Cowan and Ted Kearon deliver a delightfully absurd trio of strips that blend workplace absurdity, subversive humor, and surreal sport. From a lab worker confronting a monstrous waste disposal system to a revolutionary requesting a bomb as a wrapped present, the issue’s quirky tone is perfectly matched by Kearon’s expressive art. A 7d comic from October 1965, it’s a sharp, satirical slice of mid-century British comics.
