Blast from the Past: Target Magazine, May 1972

Blast from the Past: Target Magazine, May 1972

Here's a nice little comic book / Magazine which may stir a few childhood memories, especially to the Generation X boomers of the 70's. Here is the May 13th (according to the editor's letter) 1972 issue of the UK publication, Target. Published on a weekly basis, this particular issue featured a nice 2 page colour spread on Clint in the Dollar trilogy as well as a cracking, if familiar, cover shot of Clint from Hang 'em high. The cover image was used quite a lot in the 70's and in artwork form, appearing on things such as Birthday and greeting cards. This issue is an early entry (No 4) and is not seen too often, so I am grateful to a seller who kindly offered me it. Sadly it didn't come with its original free sci-fi creature poster - but I guess that went up on some young boy's bedroom wall over 50 years ago. Nevertheless, I am certainly glad to add it to the collection.

I used to get this every week. I had the SF posters on my wall. I remember the cartoon strip "Bovver Boy" and his scraps with the Hells Angels!
