BERYL IS BACK

Here she is! Back with a vengeance. Beryl the Peril – Grade-A menace from the pages of my own childhood comic – The Topper.  The entire first annual scanned and available for download from your favourite scanner and archivist of rare British Comics – me! Heh – well not quite, but I try! This is the first Beryl the Peril annual from 1959 – produced bi-annually thereafter. Eighty pages of David Law’s deceptively simple artwork make Beryl’s adventures shine. See her use Ju-Jitsu on an elephant, make a lethal weapon out of a hockey stick (wouldn’t be allowed today), and yes, even plot to blow up the school (definitely a no-no in polite society today) – in fact the more I think about it 1959 must have been a great year!

LEGION OF BERYL

Amazing what you could do with a chemistry set back in the good old days – you’d need a lab and a PhD to do all that now!
