Pg 15-28 – “CHRISTOPHER’S PUNCTURED ROMANCE” fumetti by Dave Crossley, photography by Martin Iger, starring: John Cleese, and Cindy Young. This fumetti is one of the most famous in the entire run of HELP!. This fumetti stars John Cleese of Monty Python fame. The story revolves around John Cleese’s character and his interaction with his daughter’s new toy, a Barbee doll. Of course the prop is an actual Barbie Doll from the mid 1960’s. If the actual doll could be obtained, and certified as legitimate, it would be quite a toy collectible. This fumetti features many close-up photos of Cleese, and is a real plus for the Python collector. Pg 29-32 – “WONDER WART-HOG, ENCOUNTERS SUPER GRANNY” by Gilbert Shelton.
