Postman Prat's Firework Fun

Firework themed comics don't happen these days, except... in 2011 a few of us were allowed to do firework stories for The Dandy. Here's Postman Prat in a story written by David Mason, drawn by me.

Have a safe Bonfire Night!

Lew Stringer said...: Although this was seven years ago and I don't think it's been done since. The days of firework themed comics are well behind us, I think. Halloween took over from that a long time ago, and I guess has its own strengths, but I did enjoy the firework strips I read as a kid. I don't know anyone who imitated them. Kids that daft didn't read comics anyway!; 5 November 2018 at 22:59
