Here’s an interesting oddity, a early 60′s issue of Huckleberry Hound Weekly from the UK. Previously I’ve expressed my love for the output of the Hanna-Barbara Studio in general and Huck in particular. So it was a genuine pleasure seeing this random issue full of some really nice art (which I’m going to go ahead and assume was done by Hanna-Barbara artists for the international market). Most of the their major players from around 1963 are here including some now fairly obscure ones like Touche Turtle and Loopy de Loop.

It’s kind of funny, in a sad, cheap jack, the way the British editors desperately tried to turn this into the “Easter issue” mostly through the strength of pasting typewritten text (!) over Huck’s word balloon on the cover. Too cheap to spring for lettering…that’s just how cheap British comics could get.
