Talk:I SPY/@comment-62.232.224.33-20100927141748

Yes! `I. Spy` was a true joy for readers of `Sparky` comic! I adored the strip greatly! I was 13 in Feb 69 when it began, and though the early more humourous stories were good, I really became engrossed when the strip began to have more `serious` toned plotting towards the latter part of Les Barton's tenure in early 1970.

Rab, is a out and out fan of the Les Barton season Feb 1969 - May 1970. I was very happy with the first Brian Walker drawn Oct 1970 - March 1971 season too!

I only read the first two episodes of the June - Nov 1971 (brian Walker) season due to my exams coming up and the need to prepare for life after school!

The first three series still stand up superbly today in my view! Sadly, I just cannot rate the colour 1971 - 72 season very highly, especially the plotting! I actually find, some of the James Fox drawn 1974 - 76 era I. Spy stories better than the 71-72 stuff!

I believe I now have every I. Spy adventure ever printed!
