Hot Rod Comics

GERARD Richards sent us a couple of comic covers from his collection and another photo he thought we might be interested in. Gerard says, “I was digging in a box in my archive and came across them the other day while hunting as ever for something else. I quite like those stylised art comic covers. There used to be a lot of hot rod style comics in circulation, but you hardly see any now. The Mod Wheels on thin ice is from 1971, the World of Speed from 1981 and the kid in the homemade go-kart from 1969.
