Last year, as Christmas approached, TWLB cast its eye over that Christmas institution – the Annual. From 1969 to 1984, we looked at some of the best examples of Annual cover design, and how tastes and fashions changed through the years. Some Annuals were evergreens (like the Dr Who series), while others were around for one year, never to return….
For a limited time only, TWLB will be looking at some more of these gems, this time from the mid to late 80’s.
All Annual images are courtesy of the marvellous tonystrading site – go there for an exhaustive covers gallery;
Today it’s 1985….
Jesus, this brings me back. Used to love King Cobra. Would say it looks very dated now.
Indeed. That Warlord one looks dated, but also very ridiculous. Tucker, however, is timeless.
What on earth was Lee Majors thinking with that hairdo……everyone had a mullet in the 80s!
