I loved that 'Frankingstine' model. All the versions I have found online have glow in the dark hands and face, but from what I remember it was all black plastic, no glow in the dark bits. Perhaps the UK had a cheaper version? I didn't paint my one either. To be fair, if I did it would have been a mess so that was for the best.
Missed a couple of weeks over the Christmas holidays, so it's Happy New Years from 1977. A great year that saw the Queen's silver jubilee and, more importantly, the start of 2000AD (although I didn't start reading it regularly until 1980) and Star Wars!
Back to Mr Woolley's Massacre Comix this week with Part 2 of the secret origin of Massacre Man, originally published in Mondo#24 in July 1994. The issue featured two (!) editorial pages by Lee Davis, a Darkness text story, the first part of Superman In Britain, an interview with long term Mondo artist Tim Rees, Tim's own strip Mirror-Man, an article on the Sharpe TV show, Survivor by Lee Davis and Darren Bardsley, British Bulldog 2 by Davis and Paul Knight, and the final part of the Negative Man story The Heroic Trinity by Lee and Chris Doughty. All stuffed into 52 fun packed pages, not bad for £1.35 (plus postage).

'AAHHH, Jim lad, we're off to Never-Never Land fifty years ago!'
Got a star for this one... In the book it's silver, the scanner turned it black for some reason.
