Each week with Look and Learn

Now if you are of certain age, old enough to remember hearing She Love You in 1963, and feeling the light had gone out of the world at the news of the death of Otis Reading then chances are you will have read Look and Learn.

I first fell across it in the winter of 1962 as I was moving away from the Eagle comic and for the rest of that decade and into the next came it came into our house each week.

It was a fine mix of useful knowledge, adventure stories and offered the work of some of the best artists.

None of the earliest copies have survived but we have something like a 100 from the early 70s.  By that time, I had left home for Manchester but on the regular visits back I would slide into reading the editions which fell through the door.

And that is all I have to say.
