Krazy Comic Disguises! (Part 1)

Issue 1 - An upside down excercise book.
A nice feature in Krazy comic were it's cunning back cover diguises! They were all very neat - sometimes in the disguise of a sheet of paper or a certificate, others it looked like a towel or a set of scales!

I've left out issues #8, #9, #0 and #34 as instead of disguises they had an advert on the back.

In Part 2 I'll post the rest of the weeklies and the Holiday Special from 1981 - the only one I have. If anybody can help with the other Specials please let me know!

comics the wrong way as an April Fools joke!

I think that one from Issue 18 is possibly carbon paper which would have been used at schools at that time to make copies of work for pupils. On something called a Banda machine. So pleased to find these, after asking about them on a wee page on Bakebook!
