This is the story of V... Image
Writer Kenneth Johnson had a strong background in TV drama and sci-fi, having worked on The Incredible Hulk and The Six Million Dollar Man. In 1976 he had created The Bionic Woman series.

Time for a quick quiz: can you name these British seaside resorts from their 1960s postcards?

Today in pulp... I take a trip to Games Workshop!

It's not all Warhammer 40,000 you know!

Time now for my top 10 countdown of the best moustaches in marketing!

Stiff upper lip chaps...
At no 10: the clipped, steely moustache of the Williams shaving man! "Feel your face tingle!"
At no 9: the soi-disant smirk-smuggler moustache of the Seagram's Gin man!

Who serves gin in such tiddly glasses? Pah!
