With a sachet of 'Gulp' powder as a free gift to
quench the thirst of it's new readers, Cor!!, with two exclamation
marks, launched itself on an unsuspecting public dated 6th June 1970.
 |
The first issue of Cor!! saw the appearance of front
page star 'Gus the Gorilla', 'Ivor Lott and Tony Broke'. Also in issue
one was 'Andy's Ants' (Terry Brave) which told the story of schoolboy
Andy who whilst whistling on the way home from school noticed that his
unique whistle was audible to ants who exclaimed 'You are the first
human to make contact with us!'. Subsequent weeks saw Andy using his
Ants to comic effect.
Other stories in the first issue included 'Tomboy',
'Spoilsport', 'Hire a Horror', 'Trickey Dickey' and 'Kid Chameleon'. |

Another Terry Brave strip in Cor!! comic was 'The
Slimms' which featured the adventures of Sammy Slimm who as is
name implied was slim, however his parents were very overweight and the
more Sammy tried to get his parents to cut down the more they ended up
eating.
Cor!! comic also included the crazy antics of 'The
Goodies' with artwork by Joe Colquhoon, the original artist for
Roy of the
Rovers. |

Cor!! ran for over four years, but all good things
must come to an end, and with the announcement of the all too familiar
'Exciting News for all Readers' Cor!! was merged with
Buster comic. |
